It’s Back! The 2014 Farmers’ Market season began last weekend with a host of activities and vendors to keep visitors busy for hours.

What’s your vote? The Provincial Government has introduced an initiative allowing local VQA wines to be sold at Farmers’ Markets in 2014 and 2015. Milton Chambers will be meeting in the next couple of weeks to determine if Milton will be jumping on the wagon.

Be sure to check out the Market, running 7AM to 12PM every Saturday from May 17th to October 11th (June 7th excluded)

5 Tips for Sellers1 Clear the clutter. Before you put your home on the market,

clear the clutter that’s accumulated over the years. Tackle one room at a time, and divide your items into three piles: keep, donate and toss.

2 Get packing. Although you don’t want to pack up all of your belongings, it helps to start boxing up the items that you want to keep, but won’t use for a while, such as out of season clothing or sporting equipment. Also, think about packing away sentimental and valuable items. Packing up your belongings will help potential buyers picture themselves living in your home and also prevent your valuables from damage.

3 Research the local market. Knowing how much the homes in your neighbourhood are selling for and how long they stayed on the market can help you gauge your home’s value and estimate a time frame for the sale.

4 Repair and improve. Boost your home’s curb appeal by doing minor repairs and improvements inside the home and out. Tackle any necessary repairs, paint your walls a neutral colour and replace

don’t forget to clean—potential buyers can’t enjoy the views if the windows are too dirty to see through.

5 Be realistic. While it’s good to get a feel for the local market, be realistic about the selling process. Having realistic expectations for your home sale will help to relieve some of the stress of selling.
