Is it possible to buy a bigger home without having to pay big bucks? Realtor.com\u00ae offers some tips to potential buyers who are looking for a larger home on a smaller budget. For example, they can:<\/p>\n

Find a stale listing.<\/strong>
\n\u201cSearch for homes above your price range that have been on the market for over 30 days,\u201d says David Feldberg, broker\/owner of Coastal Real Estate Group in Newport Beach, Calif. \u201cSelling a home stinks, and after 30 days on the market, especially in a seller\u2019s market like we have today, it\u2019s obvious the home is priced wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

Search for a \u201cgranny\u201d home.<\/strong>
\nLook for the most outdated home you can find — orange shag carpet, floral wallpaper, and all.\u00a0 \u201cOlder homes that haven\u2019t been updated tend to languish because most buyers today want newly built homes or ones that look like a page out of the Pottery Barn catalog,\u201d says Anne West, a real estate pro with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Winnetka, Ill.<\/p>\n

Look for a home to renovate.<\/strong>
\nSearch for a home with potential to add on or open up cramped spaces. Can a wall be knocked down to open up a space or even added to make two rooms where there was one? Can the basement be finished to add space?\u00a0 \u201cIn many instances, you can use an FHA 203(k) renovation loan, or in higher-priced homes you can use a conventional loan where you wrap the cost of the renovation into the original loan,\u201d says Bruce Ailion of RE\/MAX Greater Atlanta.<\/p>\n
