Re: webschema-ISSUE-13 (Describing Real Estate): Schema.org should document how best to describe Real Estate [Feedback on Schema.org]

My first thought was that a Time Share would be (as Jesse Friedman
suggested) a type of Offer (a way to sell something), while the Real Estate
itself would be a type of ProductOrService (a thing that can be sold,
rented, let out, etc). So you would Offer that House on the Beach via Time
Share.

But then- a Time Share is really a Product, isn't it? This house, during
these two weeks in February, is a discreet thing which can be bought, sold,
rented, let out (seized, repossessed, etc).

It occurs to me that ProductOrService relates to "Asset" in the legal
sense- something that can be owned.

And a two week Time Share on a house relates to the house in pretty much
the same way that the second-floor of an office building (which can also be
sold separately) relates to the office building as a whole. (Or, for that
matter, it relates the same way that Shares of a Publicly traded company
relate to the company as a whole). They are all assets that can be owned,
bought, sold, transferred, etc.
