Saturday morning is best of the two days and Thursday evening got to where it was okay, I admitt first year I did not know what the heck I was really doing. This year I have better idea how to do things and I bought a canopy in Nov so this year I should look more professional. Maybe one can have too many types of items on the tables.??? I have only veggies and that is what they stop for if looking for them. I put my prices right out there where they can see than in big numbers. I think Tanglejohn is right too price has a lot of it. My prices were okay . Bad stuff is not good at any price. DIL thinks I should go for upper income people. She says people do have money. But I think like the rest of us they want reasonable prices. If you give them good produce and reasonable prices. You bet they will go to store or Wal-mart. Good variety on table of veggies helps. I think I only had one guy try to get me to give him extra. I did get few tips too. Really. This year I have been working on a garden plan to try and have stuff come on from first week of market to last. This in its self will increase the income some. Last Sat in June is first market day. No rain got us from the time I started going. I lucked out there. It would come on afterwards. A bad wind did hit after closing time once and guy got his canopy broke. He never did come back. It is on lawn and one can stick in the stakes. I got told after 25th of Sept if I came I would be only one there. I asked few others and some did come. The craft people quit and I had it paid for till last of Oct as they say that is the season. I quit mid-Oct to go hunting. Yeah, put a deer in the freezer. It was frosting by then and tomatoes were getting it. June 25th first market day this year. I need to have something to start selling then. ???? There is nothing wrong with gardening in Colorado. You irrigate here or don't grow anything. I know it is shorter season here. Last frost should be over by May l5th. Market assn ran ads, but I think I will sure budget some ad money of my own . Try it once or twice to see and if doesn't help. My son says just grow less and sell that. I do not think be worth it. One told me she thought I had done real good for the first year. I know I will not get rich at this. I don't have a way to grow tomatoes real early, but I will try to have as early as I can. I have a list made out when to plant as early on somethings as can and other stuff to be ready say June 25th. Trying to spread the work out so all will get done. I kind of think lot don't come to the market as think the prices will be too high. I have had several in the past years that said the market was too high.

I'm getting in late on this post, but essentially agree with everyone else who says the fence has to go! With that fence and those huge trees, you can barely see this house. I could easily drive by it and not even realize it's there. It does seem to me that the fence is hiding something. I like the pond and plantings but would move some of the outdoor furniture...it's a little too busy for my taste. I wonder where the "for sale" sign is? Six weeks on the market is nothing...we are closing this Wed. on our house after 3.5 months DOM. Our realtor also never showed the house herself, but got lots of other realtors to show it. The buyers are actually a young couple, of which the woman is the niece of a good friend of my husband's. We told the friend about the house, and he suggested that his niece and her boyfriend might be interested in it! So...yeah...we could have sold it FSBO. But who knew? You never really know where your buyers are going to come from.

THAT is a really nice picture of your home. ...what telephone poles? I'm too busy looking at that great setting! And I'm somewhat reluctant to leave feedback sometimes. I try to offer advice gently, much more than I would on GW. Some agents/sellers just don't want to hear it. They'll call and go on and on cajoling you about how your buyer was "wrong" (about how they feel?) and/or justifying it and/or explaining why that incurable defect shouldn't bother your buyer, you get the idea. Example: when I was buying, an agent/seller (her own home) kept calling me every day to come back and see her home after I told her that we were no longer considering ANY homes on that particular canal because of its open exposure to the west, and she just kept calling and telling me about the other sailboat owners on that canal and they were fine with it and she's got their phone numbers if I want to talk to them about it, etc etc. Lady, I don't care what other people do, I AM NOT PUTTING MY BOAT IN THAT CANAL.. And this is when there were probably 30 homes in the similar inventory (now maybe 3, no selection at all for buyers) so I wasn't exactly desperate. Thank you for accepting feedback graciously. It's not as common as you would hope. And hat's off to you for homeschooling - not my cup of tea but I have many, many successful homeschooling friends, some religious, some not, many miliitary, some boat-schooled, all multiple children (can't think of any with less than 3 kids, up to 6) All 4-year college-bound or in studies now (except one that I know of). Here homeschoolers can even participate on HS sports teams in their zoned schools so they can earn those all-important varsity letters. I consider homeschooling pretty mainstream myself.

Some of the costs of the collapsing housing bubble in the Toronto area have now been quantified: an average of C$157,000 for each of the 866 homes that were "sold" but didn't close in 2017 and then were relisted by the same owners and sold this year. Toronto suburban home "sold" for C$2.25m in 2017. Next year, not so much. Photo: Toronto Sun And for some of the "buyers" who walked away from closings last year, the total can be much higher. Like the couple who "won" a bidding war for a C$2 million home by bidding C$2.225 million. Then as market values dropped, financing became unavailable. The seller "mitigated" damages by selling into the new market, sued the defaulting "buyers" for the shortfall and recently won a judgment for C$470,000
