Continuing with the real estate theme of the past couple of days, I wanted to mention this site for real estate listings. I like how they do a lot but not too much. It would be easy to make a general US real estate site impossibly massive and hard to use, but this one is easy to navigate. Obares.com mission is to "help you find the right real estate agent, your dream home and even the finest deal on your mortgage loan."
They have lists of US real estate agents, information on school districts, libraries, churches, etc. For example, go to the Brooklyn real estate page and you see information on real estate agents, apartments, and links to information on schools and libraries.
The information on buying a home is a general overview with questions like "What type of Home Should You Buy?" You would want another source of information before you really start shopping. If you're selling, you can put your home up for sale by owner at Obares.com.
All in all, this is a good site to visit for an overview of real estate and real estate agents in a certain area.
