Morphology
The phrase denotes property/land and is directly derivable from combining 'real' (here carrying the property/land-related sense) with 'estate' (land and main house). This is a compositional, cross-linguistically common nominal compound, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would be able to infer the meaning.
Etymology
Real estate is now also used for virtual land because a virtual plot works like real estate: it is a piece of land you can own and build on. So the phrase now means 'digital property' in online worlds.
