A garage sale of a house?

Could you tell me whether the following sentence is grammatically right?

"They look like standing in a garage sale of a house"

They walked and found a garage sale in the road. In this case, do I have to say " They found a garage sale of the house" or "They found a garage sale of a house"?

Thank you in advance for your teaching.

Just speak of 'a garage sale', not 'a garage sale of a house'.
A garage sale is understood to be at a house'.
