What do you call all the stuff inside your house? My property or my properties?
I'm not married to one over the other, but for type-ins, outdoor signs, etc. property is . . cleaner? Ya, properties inherently suggests that "there's more than one" but . . .
Properties almost sounds unnatural. If you owned 3 houses in CityX would you be more likely to say "I own properties in CityX" or would you say "I own property in CityX"? Do you say "He own's a lot of property" or "He owns a lot of properties"?
Is it real estate or real estates? I think the British got it right by simplifying it to estate or estates.
Would I pay more for Property.tld or Properties.tld? Probably more for Property.tld.
You're doomed, unless your doomed, or unless you can acquire both. :p

"I own properties in CityX"
"I own 4 properties in Cali" is used though.
"Did you find any properties (or homes) to buy? "
'I checked 5 properties and didn't like them'
People use property/ies and homes almost interchangeably when talking about real estate. 0.5% probably want land. Maybe I should just use the homes.tld
mine is to target foreign buyers so type ins will be almost non-existent, since not everyone remembers the .tld. It's all a Google /search engine /how it looks to prospective clickers thing.
It's too late for both, but I have a few more top names related to the same subject and of course the translations.
I might also get .com.tld to see if foreigners trust it more. If you search from UK maybe you think that they .tld is for locals.
