Sell Now Before It's Too Late!
The future of Trona looks bleaker than ever. The forecast I've heard from some is that water prices are going to skyrocket which will lead to problems for the plant. Some say the plant will downsize and some say it will close entirely. The ripple effect will hit the school the hardest and a full closure is possible, although another scenario is that the elementary stays open with the high school students being bused to Ridgecrest. Over the next five years Trona may shrink to under 800 residents. All this means that it will become increasingly difficult to sell houses in Trona and that prices will drop. Some people will hold onto their homes and allow them to deteriorate, but it appears very unlikely that the downward spiral will be reversed.... If anything, it will become faster.
