Create a warm, engaging news-style report highlighting several Sacramento single-family homes priced under $500K this week, drawing from the provided listings to compare neighborhoods, features, and potential grants. Feature at least four properties from the input (including price, key amenities, and open houses) and weave in practical takeaways for buyers (like school districts, commute access, and recent upgrades). End with a human-interest angle or local contractor/realtor insight to tie the homes to the Sacramento community.
