The Ruling on Zakat for Real Estate

Question
Is zakat obligatory on real estate if someone buys an apartment or a piece of land?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: The zakat on real estate is obligatory if it is intended for trade, meaning it was acquired with the intention of selling it, and God knows best.
