## [What to Look for in an Affordable Home](https://info.sdhda.org/what-to-look-for-in-an-affordable-home)
[](https://info.sdhda.org/what-to-look-for-in-an-affordable-home)
Quality and price have a unique relationship, and they don’t always correlate. Sometimes, especially when searching for a home, it’s difficult to determine what’s worth it and what isn’t. A cheap home doesn’t necessarily mean it’s affordable. If a house is cheap, it’s generally for a reason. There may be serious renovations that need to be dealt with or a history of damage or crime that you may not know about. Do your research and shop smart before you put down that downpayment.
