Could anyone recommend an up-to-date uncluttered resource or comparison of options for citizenship by investment - some list of countries that offer this instrument. I'm mostly interested in (but not limited to) real estate ownership.

You can just google there are sites offering this info like below. I would however speak to an immigration lawyer that has real world experience as its never as easy as what you read on a website as most of the information tends to be utter bs.

Here is nice comparison tool - Program Check - Arton Capital
If you decide to go through with it, i would suggest finding a local agent in the country of your choice and contacting him directly. Generally cheaper and faster. Agent in your home country would want commission for basically nothing.

Funny, after reading this thread last month I ended up going down this track of researching. My passport says I am a Kiwi (New Zealand citizen).. It's a great passport but the more diversified I get the more I want a backup plan (is it Simon Black that says that, always have a backup plan?).
I'm still deciding on where I want residency long term, but Europe is seeming the most likely place. Anyway, the top option I can find right now seems to be Montenegro. Here's the criteria:

Sounds easy in theory, and︄ not a huge investment for what is a pretty good passport. The passport gives visa-free︅ or visa on arrival access to 124 jurisdictions according to Wiki. I've also been︆ digging into infrastructure investments in the country and there seem to be some good opportunities,︇ though I wouldn't expect them all to go smoothly. Done correctly the passport could be︈ paid off via the investments within ~5 years (but know the risk!!).
However, it's all︉ moving pretty slowly. Despite claims it will be ready and smooth sailing by 2020, it has been a very long time coming. I'm not convinced the program will actually︊ be handing out citizenships in 2020, let alone passports. So you probably want to be︋ patient.
But, I'm optimistic. Friends have said "go to Canada" but I don't want to︌ live in that miserable cold and pay crazy taxes for 5+ years.
If anyone has︍ more insight, let me know!

second citizenship passport could work for many purposes so for the opening of offshore companies and accounts.
This will be a long term project so you better pick location carefully as you may be spending some time there. Why not go on extended vacation and choose countries you like, then investigate their residency laws. You can apply on your own and it should be cheap. Otherwise if you are in a hurry, <<<snippet>>> posted a video today about new passport program in Montenegro but is is not cheap.
According to our youtube friend, it is E100k donation or E250k real estate purchase inland or E450real estate purchase on the coast +vat +agents fee. The biggest expense I see is future tax liability when they join the EU and further down the line ,tax on worldwide income. Visa free to EU and Russia but not good for The Americas and UK/Ireland.
Why not try Panama, but first contact the POLS which is a licensed Panama law firm specializing in all Panama offshore legal services, including the formation of Panama Corporation and Panama foundations. Their Offshore corporations and foundation packages are the most complete in the industry. In addition, they offer Panama immigration services, Panama real estate transaction processing, escrow services, and maritime vessel registration. Just Google "POLS Panama Law Firm Specialist" and also do research on Panama, cause it may be exact what Void need.
As much as I appreciate your overt advertisement, one reason is: YOU WILL NEVER GET︀ IT.
Panama and a couple other South American countries will issue you residency but citizenship︁ is a pipe dream, regardless what lawyers assure you of and charge you for.
