A gain in real estate refers to the increase in the value of a property over a specific period. It's calculated by subtracting the original purchase price (including closing costs) from the final selling price (including any selling costs).
A gain isn't considered realized until the property is sold. Before the sale, the increase in value is just an unrealized gain on paper.
