the third thing is physically adding square footage to your home. it's really based on your home, the location of the home and the current market. so there are definitely situations in which doing a complete remodel will immediately add value to your home. there are other situations in which you might spend $25,000 but you are only going to get $10,000 more in listing price. scott: by the way, kay is right there already answering your questions. a little way from her. 703-236-9220. we will be here to answer your questions about purchasing or selling a home all afternoon long. back to you. >> they are yours for the taking. but there is a catch. we will tell you about it in a moment. >> i have a story to tell about something that happened to our family last week. i'm sorry. nancy: plus, what had jimmy kimmel opening up and

instead of finding someone to pay for a big move, there is a question for where would the houses go? demolition is slated to begin this summer so the clock may be winding down on these homes. which have been here for so many years. stephen tschida, abc7 news. michelle: if you are thinking of a new home, "7 on your side" with a phone bank to ask a realtor. call the panel of experts in the "7 on your side" help center. the number on the screen. 703-236-9220. they will be there for your calls until 6:30. doug: sunshine, gusty winds. 79 in warrenton. talk about the winds and the forecast tonight. whatever you have planned if you are going to the south capital streets to see the nats take on the diamondbacks. the fist pitch is
