If we look at the current Offer Type: http://schema.org/Offer you can see that indeed all of it's properties could apply to any form or type of Real Estate...including availability...which could be has simple as SOLD | AVAILABLE. So, then the Offer would be typing the Real Estate THING as a Product. Looking at the Product Type's properties: http://schema.org/Product here again, I think all of those properties could apply to any form of Real Estate in general. Right ? brand, manufacturer, and model would not necessarily correspond to all types of Real Estate but I seem useful for representing a Home Builder such as Pulte Homes, but would it suffice for offering a 3 bedroom condo on the 20th floor of the Trump World Tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_World_Tower and what do you fill in for those ? As you can see we still need to connect the dots to a space for sale within a particular building or structure. Question is.. Can we create a relationship between a space for sale WITHIN A / PART OF / LOCATED IN a particular building or structure somehow with the current schema ?
