First Quarter's done, and we're well into the Second... ??

Good grief!Where is this year going!

I recently decided to revitalize my blog (more about that later), so here I am looking at that stupid clock ticking down to -- well, of course, now it's ticking down to New Year's Eve 2010/2011.

Oh, well, Let's review. How's the Real Estate Business in Ithaca? Right now there are 741 residential properties on the market. As of today, the average days on the market is 146. The average selling price here is $184,332, and homes are selling at an average Listing Price to Selling Price of 94.93%.

For an individual agent such as myself? My first quarter surpassed my total sales in 2009; two months into the second quarter I've surpassed first quarter's numbers. And I'm psyched to push forward for my clients, getting them the best price for the homes I'm listing, and the best price for my clients who are ready to buy.

The History Center Presents: Out Upon Cayuga's Waters-- 100 years of life on the lake

The History Center Presents: Out Upon Cayuga's Waters-- 100 Years of Life on the Lake
June 16th through October 2009
Cayuga Lake, the longest of New York's Finger Lakes, lies at the heart of Tompkins County. More than 38 miles long and 3-1/2 miles wide at its widest point, Cayuga Lake is famous for its beauty, and for the gently rolling lands surrounding it.

Commercial boating thrived here since the early 19th century as steamboats and ferryboats traveled the lake, and recreational and competitive boating and swimming have brought fun and prosperity to lakeside communities.

Opening on June 16th, this new exhibit uses artifacts and images to depict the commerce and sport, the swimmers, and the steamboats that have made lake life rich and rewarding. See early 20th century bathing suits, images of 1980s crew races, and a replica of the famous Frontenac, the magnificent Cayuga Lake steamboat that came to so tragic an end.

Out Upon Cayuga's Waters: 100 Years of Life on the Lake will be on view at the History Center from June 16th through October 2009, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays between 11:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Location: The History Center
401 East State Street, Ithaca, New York
In the Gateway Center, one block east of The Commons
