Estate & garage sale listing trends

The sample is 1432 currently published listing records created from 2026-10-01 through 2026-10-25 (UTC), including user posts and imports. Creation is not necessarily first publication or sale month. Imported records may describe older or future events. Each record counts once; we cannot establish that records from different sources are always distinct real-world events.

Start days and times use the first advertised start; end times use the final advertised end. They are not daily opening-hour distributions. Times use each listing’s stored state-based zone, an approximation in states with multiple time zones. Stored/imported times may be defaults rather than independently verified schedules.

Average length is the inclusive calendar-date span from first start to final end (1432 nonnegative spans), not a count of actual open days. Gaps and long auction windows can affect the average. It is not a recommended event duration.

Categories are seller/importer tags, not purchased items. 773 listings have category tags; a listing can appear in multiple categories, so category counts do not sum to total sales. Photo share means at least one photo media record, excluding code-drawn fallback signs.

The report reflects listings on GarageEstateSales.com, not all sales nationally, shopper attendance, receipts, commission rates or item sell-through. Location labels follow the listing and may include non-US or incomplete records. No private addresses, contacts or row-level dataset are published.

The current month is provisional and read from live published data. At 00:05 UTC on the first of each month, the completed month is archived once; archives retain that snapshot. Material source changes determine the displayed Updated date, not the generation clock.
