WordPress Customizing Custom Post Types?

I've been asked to add post section to a customers WordPress website. Being fresh to wordpress i'm new on the terminology of the features of wordpress. In the menu i can see the existing two items as follows:

enter image description here

They've got "Posts" and "Properties" and now they want to add something the same as "Properties" but a different category called "Properties for Sale".

In WordPress are these sections referred to as "Custom Post Types"? Am I right to just install a plugin and create a new Custom Post Type?

Any advice would be appreciated.

There are many plugins to create post types. Custom Post Types definitely does the job. Once you activate it you should be able to create your own post types.

If you don't want to use a plugin, there is a way to do it yourself either in functions.php or in your own plugin. For a beginner, however, using a plugin is the easiest way.

There already is a plugin of some sorts installed for this. The "Custom Post Types" menu item is not native to WP.
