Leave a comment » Should I Stage My Vacant La Jolla Home? Your vacant La Jolla home is still on the market for sale and you are trying to decide if you should stage it. Your La Jolla Realtor has suggested staging your La Jolla home. Now you are trying to decide if it is worth it or not to invest in home staging.
You are not alone. We face this regularly with our clients who are selling a vacant La Jolla home. We think that it's one of the best investments they could possibly make in what is now widely considered to be a highly competitive "buyers market" in La Jolla.

A favorite meeting place in La Jolla is at the La Jolla Elementary School Open Aire Market happens every Sunday 9:00am 1:00pm. This is a great opportunity for you to get together with your La Jolla Neighbors, perhaps pick up a special gift by one of the many artisans, select flowers for your La Jolla home, and some fresh fruits or vegetables for the week. Farm Bureau of San Diego and California Federation of Farmers Markets are two great resources to Markets and purchasing produce from local San Diego area farmers. The La Jolla Elementary Open Aire Market began in 1996 by Sherry Ahern as a way to raise funds for a library for La Jolla Elementary School. The first La Jolla Elementary Open Aire Market was held at La Jolla Elementary School on October 25, 1998 with 14 farmers and one artisan. Since the first Market, the La Jolla Elementary Open Aire Market has grown to over 75 vendors that present their selection fruits, vegetables, flowers and gourmet foods. There is always a selection of Artisans selling their creations and a Food Court offering a variety of food and refreshments.
Not only are you supporting local San Diego farmers but you are supporting La Jolla Elementary School too! Since the Open Aire Market started, it has funded many things for the school:
Currently the La Jolla Elementary School Open Aire Market is managed Market Manager, Darcy Young. If you are interested in becoming a vendor call Darcy at (858) 405-6086 or email her at darcyyoung@verizon.net. http://www.lajollacommunities.com/000D6E Posted on August 22, 2007 15:10:15 by Marti Gellens
