RESTON, VA, Dec 29, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) — Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHCI) and its subsidiaries (collectively “Comstock” or the “Company”) today announced that it had settled the previously reported dispute with Bank of America (the “Bank”) related to the purported notice of default issued by Bank of America on October 18th, 2006. While the specific terms of the settlement were not disclosed, the Company reported that it had made a five million dollar principal curtailment on its unsecured line of credit with Bank of America and entered into loan modification agreements with respect to all remaining outstanding Bank of America loans to the Company whereby the maturity dates and curtailment requirements have been extended.
