First Home Buyer

Hi,
I’m a first home buyer and dont know where to start. The WA (Perth) market is so inflated atm what do i do. I know if i wait prices will continue to increase but if i buy under the market price im still not going to get much for my money.i have begun to educate myself but where do i take the leap and what kind of property should i be on the look out for. There is so much competition it makes it hard for the first home buyer.
