Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On January 15, 2008, Comstock Homebuilding Companies (the “Company”) announced that the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) stating that for 30 consecutive business days the Company’s common stock has closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5) (the “Rule”). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until July 7, 2008, to regain compliance.

The Company did not regain compliance with the Rule by July 7, 2008. As a result, on July 9, 2008, the Company received a Staff Determination letter (the “Staff Determination”) from NASDAQ that the Company’s stock was to be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market. The Company was advised that unless the Company requested an appeal of the NASDAQ determination, trading of the Company’s common stock would be suspended at the opening of business on July 18, 2008, and a Form 25-NSE would be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4800 Series, the Company intends to request a hearing to appeal the Staff Determination to a Listings Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”). The Company will be required to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel at the hearing. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing. During the appeal process, the Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Global Market.

On July 15, 2008, the Company issued the press release regarding the Notice from NASDAQ, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

COMSTOCK HOMEBUILDING COMPANIES, INC. REQUESTS AN APPEAL HEARING AFTER

RECEIVING NOTICE OF DELISTING FROM NASDAQ

RESTON, VA — (Marketwire – July 15, 2008) – Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ: CHCI) (“Comstock” or the “Company”) today announced that on July 9, 2008 it received notice (“Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that its stock was to be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Market as a result of the Company having not regained compliance with Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(5). Pursuant to the Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4800 Series, the Company has requested a hearing to appeal the NASDAQ determination to a Listings Qualifications Panel (“Panel”). A hearing request by the Company automatically postpones the delisting of the Company’s securities. Panels have generally viewed a reverse stock split as the only definitive plan acceptable to resolve a bid price deficiency but recently, however, the authority of the Panel to grant additional time to companies was modified so that a Panel could allow up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice for companies to undertake various other actions to regain compliance. The Company was first advised of its non-compliance on January 9, 2008. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4450(e)(2) the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until July 7, 2008, to regain compliance.
