:10:21. > :10:24.about a disease that we thought we had nearly conquered around the
:10:25. > :10:29.world, polio, on the march again. Tonight, the World Health
:10:30. > :10:31.Organization called it an international public health

:10:54. > :10:55.have simple ways you can change your home and put $30,000 in your pocket.
:10:56. > :12:52.It is real money, coming up. And, our real money team is back as
:12:53. > :12:56.the busiest time for buying and selling houses approaches. Homes
:12:57. > :12:58.sold in March spent an average of 55 days on the market. Tonight, we have
:12:59. > :13:09.simple secrets, how to transform your home and boost its value.
:13:10. > :13:14.Myra and Chris 's home, sweet home is not so sweet. How many people
:13:15. > :13:17.have seen your home? We have had dozens. Their home hit the market
:13:18. > :13:23.for months ago for a competitive $170,000. So far, there have been no
:13:24. > :13:26.offers. It is disheartening. The feedback we were getting was that it
:13:27. > :13:37.was a great house but it needed upgrading. Real money teamed up with
:13:38. > :13:42.these twin brothers and real estate experts. To figure out why the house
:13:43. > :13:48.was not selling. And turn these digs into a buyer dream. Step one: The
:13:49. > :13:52.brothers say to cut out the clutter. Every time I buy a walk
:13:53. > :13:55.through the house, they say I do not like this, it builds up in the
:13:56. > :13:59.house, they say I do not like this, it builds up and I do not like this,
:14:00. > :14:02.it builds up in the mind and no right of the house. It does not at
:14:03. > :14:05.hard value to a renovation but it adds value to the mind of buyers.
:14:06. > :14:10.You cannot underestimate the power of paint. It costs next to nothing.
:14:11. > :14:15.They say for $30 worth of paint you can add thousands of dollars to your
:14:16. > :14:20.home. You be the judge. Look at the colour of the living room before,
:14:21. > :14:25.and now. It looks like a brand`new space. Step three, replace old
:14:26. > :14:29.fixtures like busted lights to make the whole room feel new. In the
:14:30. > :14:35.kitchen, update your faucet, paint cabinets and replace hardware. What
:14:36. > :14:50.return will this get? The kitchen alone here, that has raised the
:14:51. > :14:54.value by $20,000. Finally, if you are going to invest in one big
:14:55. > :15:03.renovation, pick new countertops or flaws, they are the biggest
:15:04. > :15:07.returners. The brothers were able to sell the home for $13,000 more than
:15:08. > :15:12.the initial list price. We cannot stress enough the power of paint and
:15:13. > :15:16.decluttering. It does not cost a lot but can add thousands of dollars to
:15:17. > :15:24.the value of your home. They sold their home for more than the list
:15:25. > :15:32.price . They had a bidding war, for offers in as many days. You would
