Over the years, the Westheimer Lakes garage sale has become a hallmark summer event, attracting local shoppers and boosting community spirit. This year, residents and visitors alike can explore a wide selection of household goods, clothing, toys, furniture, tools, and more — all spread across dozens of participating homes.

Tips to Prepare Your Westheimer Lakes Garage Sale
If you're a resident planning to participate, a little preparation goes a long way. Here are some top tips to help ensure a smooth and successful garage sale:
1. Start with a Decluttering Sweep
Begin by going room to room and collecting items you no longer use. Don’t forget storage areas like the attic, garage, and closets — those often hold the most untapped treasures.
2. Sort and Price Early
Group similar items and price everything clearly. Use masking tape or printable tags, and aim for fair pricing while leaving room for bargaining.
3. Promote What You're Selling
Take advantage of neighborhood Facebook groups, community boards, and Nextdoor to post pictures of big-ticket items ahead of time. Your friends at My Neighborhood News are also promoting the community-wide sale in our comprehensive Community Events calendar for Katy/Fulshear!
4. Prep Your Setup
Have tables, blankets, or boxes ready for display. Create appealing groupings — toys in one spot, kitchenware in another — to make shopping easier for buyers.
5. Small Bills and Bags
Stock up on small bills and change, and offer plastic grocery bags so shoppers can carry their finds.

Tips for the Day of the Sale
When June 14 rolls around, be ready early and stay energized! These on-the-day tips will help maximize success:
-
Early Bird Gets the Buyer: Set up by 6:45 AM, as many shoppers arrive early to snag the best deals.
-
Stay Cool and Hydrated: Mornings in June can heat up quickly — keep cold water nearby and take breaks as needed.
-
Friendly Vibes Matter: A smile and a friendly greeting can go a long way in encouraging shoppers to browse longer.
-
Bundle & Bargain: Be ready to negotiate and offer discounts for bulk purchases. It's about clearing out, not holding out.
