As the real estate industry works to adapt to the latest tech developments, buyers, sellers, investors, and real estate professionals will likely see a number of changes in the near future. ![Two computers, a keyboard, and iPad on a desk](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hs-fs/hubfs/External_Post_Images/static1.squarespace.com.jpg?width=640&name=static1.squarespace.com.jpg "static1.squarespace.com.jpg") Among the trends we are likely to see moving forward is an increased usage of [3D printed](http://www.thenewsfunnel.com/real-estate-news/1dG5mZnA2L25vZGUvMTk4MTIwNzY%3D5) keys. As security has become an increasingly important topic, consumers are also concerned about convenience. The use of 3D printed keys offers both greater security and convenience by providing the opportunity to simply email keys and print them. For the moment, this new [technology is still a trend](http://www.thenewsfunnel.com/real-estate-news/0dG5mZnA2L25vZGUvMTk1MjYwNDE%3D1), but it could very well become standard practice in many offices in the near future. GPS is also having an impact on the real estate industry through the geotargeting of properties. With this service, real estate professionals are able to market directly to consumers. Retail chains have already successfully deployed the technology to notify consumers of special offers whenever the consumer is within the nearby vicinity of a location. In the real estate industry, agents can send alerts to buyers whenever they are within a pre-determined proximity of a listing that matches that buyer’s preferences. *This is an excerpt from an article posted on realestatetechnews.com.  For complete article, [click here.](http://realestatetechnews.com/blog/real-estate-tech-trends-to-expect-in-the-coming-months)* ##### Connect With Us [Join Our Mailing List](https://www.regencycenters.com/connect-with-us/)  > [Explore Our Markets](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties/our-markets)  > [Find a Space For Your Place](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties)  > ##### Related Stories [Feb 05 Regency Centers Announces Lone Tree Village Development in Colorado](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-centers-announces-lone-tree-village-a-king-soopers-anchored-retail-destination-serving-the-ridgegate-community) [Sep 24 Regency Centers Unveils Ellis Village Center in Northern California](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-centers-unveils-ellis-village-center-in-northern-california) [Jul 24 Regency Centers Completes $357M Portfolio Acquisition in Southern California](https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/regency-centers-acquisition-southern-california) Subscribe [![Regency Centers](https://www.regencycenters.com/ResourcePackages/Regency/assets/dist/images/regency-centers.svg)](https://connect.regencycenters.com/) - [Careers](https://www.regencycenters.com/regency/careers) - [Investors](http://investors.regencycenters.com/) - [News](http://investors.regencycenters.com/news-releases) - [Fresh Look](https://www.regencycenters.com/regency/fresh-look) - [Tenants](https://www.regencycenters.com/tenants) - [Contact](https://www.regencycenters.com/contact) [Find a Property](https://www.regencycenters.com/properties) [Leasing Agent](https://www.regencycenters.com/contact) ![Reg Listed NYSE](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hubfs/blog2018/images/stock-ticker.svg) [Regency Centers Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/RegencyCenters) [Regency Centers Twitter](https://twitter.com/RegencyCenters) [Regency Centers Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/regencycenters/) [Regency Centers LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/regency-centers/) MEMBER **S&P 500** Regency Centers is a preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of shopping centers located in suburban trade areas with compelling demographics. ©2026 Regency Centers [Terms of Service](https://www.regencycenters.com/terms-of-service) [Privacy Policy](https://www.regencycenters.com/privacy-policy) Cookie Settings ![Quantcast](https://pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-XHwFJLhjBpfmt.gif) ![](https://connect.regencycenters.com/hubfs/Art%20Elements/External_Post_Images/static1.squarespace.com.jpg) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Jessica Sheard", "url" : "https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/author/jessica-sheard" }, "dateModified" : "2025-01-05T01:32:51.079Z", "datePublished" : "2016-03-17T15:20:37.000Z", "headline" : "Real Estate Tech Trends to Expect in the Coming Months", "image" : [ "https://connect.regencycenters.com/hubfs/External_Post_Images/static1.squarespace.com.jpg" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/real-estate-tech-trends-to-expect-in-the-coming-months", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "/hs/hsstatic/content_shared_assets/static-1.4081/img/vast.png" }, "name" : "Regency Centers" } } ```
