Picture This

With long stretches of sandy beach, little crime, a population of 3,000, and only one main street of businesses, you might think being the Mayor of Cayucos is, well, a day at the beach.

But governing this beautiful, coastal town is hard work. Very hard work. It requires riding on a float in the 4th of July parade, waving at children and tourists, viewing sand sculptures on the beach, enjoying good music, chatting with fine folks, eating tasty bar-b-que, and watching the fireworks off the pier after sunset. Yes, being Mayor of Cayucos is exhausting work.

If your political ambitions are less than capitol, then you will want to mark tomorrow, Saturday, May 27th on your calendar because the Chamber of Commerce is putting the office of (honorary) Mayor of Cayucos on the auction block at their annual May Madness Fireworks Fundraiser at the Cayucos Vet’s Hall. Tickets to the May Madness fundraiser are $150 per couple and may be purchased at the Cayucos Chamber Office at 158 N Ocean Avenue in Cayucos (995-1200) or at the Vet’s Hall door.

Even the worst fixer upper will sell at the right price.

Despite 6% dips in Morro Bay and Los Osos, Cayucos values have remain level. The reason for this may be that prices in Cayucos move in stair steps while the price line of all the other cities on the coast have a uniform slope. So while prices may level off for awhile in Cayucos, I don’t expect them to drop much unless this nation wide downturn is sustained for a while longer.

My daughter Jenni has spent many hours setting up this blog for me. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope to start writing regular columns about the local real estate market very soon. I’ll post notes about my family and hobbies, too.

As I am the president of the Cayucos Chamber of Commerce, I will also post announcements for the Chamber.
