I have been thinking about building my own website, however the one thing that concerns me is providing content, fresh content, neighborhood stats, calculators, etc,....

point2 does a very good job at doing this, however if i decide to do my own website, where can I find a suitable web tool to design a site?

try dreamweaver or frontpage and or photoshop .

We will be adding a free content section in a separate page, which is basically a compilation of our staff created content, as well as member submitted content. The only caveat is that a credit for work link must stay in tact if you are going to use it. Basically provide a backlink to the author from the article.
Point2 : You may use Topagentsite to create your own website.
Best of luck.

Adobe tools, Photoshop, dreamweaver, etc. Or if you want beginners advice, get a CMS like joomla or PHP nuke, or just simply wordpress.

You can use any CMS to design your site like Joomla, Drupal

If you plan to build you website by your own, you must know that it's not so easy.
Personnaly I have used online website builder to create mine.
Hope it can help someone else.
