Re:  

Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc.

Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2011

Filed August 12, 2011

File No. 1-32375

Dear Mr. Cash:

On behalf of Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (the “Company”), we hereby respond to the Staff’s comment letter, dated November 23, 2011, regarding the above-referenced Form 10-Q. Please note the Company is simultaneously filing Amendment No. 1 to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011.

For the Staff’s convenience, we have recited the Staff’s comment in boldface type and provided the Company’s response to the comment immediately thereafter.

Form 10-Q for the Fiscal Quarter Ended June 30, 2011

 

1. We note your response to comment 5 of our letter dated October 28, 2011. Even though you filed a Form 8-K intending to correct the defective Section 906 certification contained in your Form 10-Q for the June 30, 2011 quarter, a full amendment to that quarterly report is required. Please amend the Form 10-Q for the June 30, 2011 quarter.

In response to the Staff’s comment, the Company is simultaneously filing a full amendment to its original Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 for the sole purpose of refurnishing Exhibit 32.1 to correct a typographical error appearing in the EDGAR version of the originally furnished Exhibit 32.1.
