Almost every industry has benefitted from this, including real estate. Below are some of the trends the world of real estate may be taking on in the next few years.

3-D printed housing
There are a few technological advancements that turn more heads than 3-D printing. The 3-D printers of today can create anything from an entire living room to a car. But the buck doesn’t stop there. There are companies in Asia and Europe that are preparing large-scale 3-D printing. And what do they have in mind? Houses. In fact, in China, 3-D printing has already been used to create a few buildings with materials recycled from construction waste.
The new suburb
Suburbs have always been a haven for families. Nowadays, urban planning is taking it a step further by constructing homes and apartment and condominium complexes that would house more families but at the same time, creating more space for people to move around. If that seems contradictory and an impossibility, it has already been done in many places around the world.
Fitness
With more and more people becoming health-conscious, several real estate developers plan to create living areas that come with world-class gyms. Not only that, even outdoor amenities such as artificial hiking and biking trails are being given some thought to foster a more active lifestyle among residents.
