A Realtors prime directive is to sell you the house that makes them the most money. Make your interests known and that you are not willing to diverge from what you want to what they think you can afford.
If you tell them you can only afford 200,000 then you probably won't see any houses much under 200,000 until they get desperate and until then they will be pushing you towards the 250,000 to 285,000 dollar homes.
When they push you the higher dollar home don't say "I can't afford that", its suggestive. Say "I already know I'm not approved for that much", a little more absolute.
