If you are planning to have a garage sale in the Spring, be sure to get a permit from your city. Most municipalities will require you to obtain a special permit or license in order to hold a garage sale. The permits are often free or very inexpensive, but still require you to register with the city. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that sales on Saturdays and Sundays will generate the most traffic, especially if the weather cooperates. Start the sale early, 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. is best, and be prepared for early birds. People who buy many small items will appreciate a bag to carry their goods. Newspapers are handy for wrapping fragile items. Place an ad in free classified papers and Web sites, and in your local newspapers. Include the dates, time, and address. Let the public know if certain types of items will be sold, such as baby clothes, furniture, or weightlifting equipment. On the day of the sale, balloons and signs with prominent arrows will help to grab the attention of passersby. Check out below to see what sold in Windridge Place in January 2017:

You can turn your garage sale into a block-wide event and lure more shoppers if you team up with neighbors. However, a permit may be necessary for each home owner, even if it’s a group event.
