A good is an object, belonging or property that has a certain economic value and whose purpose is to satisfy a desire or need.
Personal property is all tangible and intangible assets that can be moved from one place to another without losing their integrity or functionality. For example: an appliance, a movie, a pair of shoes. This differentiates them from real property , which cannot be moved, as it consists of portions of land or buildings.
Movable property is part of the market and is goods that can be bought, sold and exchanged.

Movable property in law
The term “movable property” is generally used to refer to personal or business belongings in legal or commercial documents.
Some movable property must be registered. For example: vehicles of all types, the purchase of weapons for personal defense, or the purchase of a work of art by a renowned painter.
The branches of law classify movable property in different ways:
Under civil law, movable property attached to real estate is considered part of the property. That is, doors, windows, and floor tiles that are part of a home are considered part of the real estate.
In criminal law, movable property that is part of real estate is considered personal property because it can be stolen.
