I just went through this in October:

1. Budget something you can afford on 1 income and stick to that price range.
2. For a first time buyer, the FHA program is nice. 3.5% down, good interest rates, and lower credt score requirements.
3. Research the area.
4. Real Estate agents are snakes, on both sides. Stick to your guns and if something sounds fishy, it probably is.

HUD offers free first time homebuyer weekend courses, I suggest you go.
