land purchase

Real estate transaction

Land purchase is the act of buying real estate or territory.

The term often appears in legal and historical contexts: The land purchase required extensive negotiations with the current owners.

In American history, major land purchases like the Louisiana Purchase expanded national territory through diplomatic acquisition rather than conquest.
