How are the 'superior homes' doing lately?

These are recent same-house-sales that have closed escrow since August 1st of one-story houses with a 3-car garage, no HOA or Mello-Roos and on at least a quarter-acre lot or more.  They are listed in decending-price order, figuring the higher the price, the better the location:

If you take out the foreclosures, there has been an average appreciation of +6.4% among these superior homes since 2004, and I'm including some area that aren't on the usual beat here.  Note that none of the five REOs are from La Jolla to Carlsbad.

The scarcity of this prototype is the primary reason I think they will continue to out-perform the rest of the market.  There were only 45 matches out of 1,020 sales (4.4%) in these same areas since August 1st, and these are all 18 that had resold since 2004.

If you can find an one-story house on a medium-sized lot with no HOA or mello-roos and a three-car garage in your area, keep an eye on it and see how it does.
