Hello Jessica,
You sound like the perfect buyer, taking the first step before looking by asking questions. To answer just a few, yes you have many choices in buying a home in the SCV in your price range. I would first advise you to get pre-approved so you know the true numbers on how much you can afford, second visit:
http://www.PropertySearch411.com to view all the homes in SCV, this is live feed to our MLS. Also, over 82% homes that are selling under 500K, we've seen many homes with multitple offers, so be prepared to make an offer if you find something you like. Some banks are listing homes below market values or not accepting offers until 5 days on the market. Please contact me at my office to discuss how I can work for you. I have 18 years of just selling Real Estate. 818-882-2821 x615 Marc
