assistant
1. Look for homes in your price range that have been recently renovated or updated.
2. Negotiate with the seller if you can, as they may be willing to reduce the asking price.
3. Consider buying a fixer-upper instead of a newly built home.
4. Research local housing markets and look for homes that are in need of repairs.
5. Take advantage of government programs such as first time buyer grants or down payment assistance programs.
