I am trying to help friends find a home to buy in Ithaca during grad school and seem able only to access ancient data or the self-serving, intentionally obfuscating crap realtors post to lure in the unsuspecting. (Sometimes, google seems worse than useless!)<br> <br> I am seeking very <b> recent </b> experience in home buying in Ithaca (close to Cornell, if possible) and a sense of the general single family home market there. Any mefites buy/sell a home in Ithaca recently? (Additional info: 150-200K price range, first time buyers).<br> <br> More to the point... where is info like this generally available to the non-realtor? Certainly, it's public domain to some degree, and perhaps it's just my limited imagination at work, but I can't envision any source other than realtors to whom it would be worth compiling it AND making it publically available in a real-time manner. Am I overlooking something obvious? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.59766 Mon, 02 Apr 2007 09:09:15 -0800 cornell ithaca marketconditions realestate FauxScot
