     On December 27, 2006, William Bensten resigned as a senior vice president and a named executive officer of Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (the “Company”). At the same time, Mr. Bensten entered into a six month consulting agreement with the Company.
Item 8.01. Other Events
Villas at Countryside Condominium Sale
     Subsequent to Mr. Bensten’s resignation, Merion-Loudoun, LC, an entity wholly-owned by Mr. Bensten (“Merion”), purchased the 30 remaining undelivered condominium units at the Company’s Villas at Countryside condominium project for $4.2 million. In connection with the purchase of the units, Merion became the successor declarant of the condominium association and entered into an 18-month fee arrangement with Comstock Countryside, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to market and sell the units on its behalf.
Settlement of Bank of America Dispute
     On December 29, 2006, the Company and Comstock Bellemeade, L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Subsidiary”), issued a press release announcing that the Company and the Subsidiary had settled their dispute with Bank of America, N.A. (the “Lender”) regarding a purported notice of default issued by the Lender on October 18, 2006 related to a Deed of Trust Note and Loan Agreement, each dated as of September 28, 2005.
     The dispute was the result of a contested curtailment demand by the Lender with respect to an acquisition and construction loan for the Company’s Commons at Bellemeade condominiums. As part of the settlement of the dispute, the Lender withdrew the previously issued notice of default and declared the Company to be in compliance with all obligations associated with the Company’s borrowings with the Lender.
