c.1939 California Desert Home For Sale Reduced to Under $50K

$65,000 Reduced to $49,999

Two-bedroom, one-bath California desert home is ready to move into with very little TLC needed. A brand new high school just opened in town. Sadly, however, the price reduction is likely due to the massive layoff lay month of 300 employees at the Searles plant.
