Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Century Properties Fund XIX, a California limited partnership (the “Registrant”), owns Plantation Crossing Apartments (“Plantation Crossing”), a 180-unit apartment complex located in Atlanta, Georgia.  On April 1, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), the Registrant entered into a Purchase and Sale Contract (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a third party, Titan Real Estate Investment Group, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), to sell Plantation Crossing to the Purchaser for a total sales price of $11,850,000.

The following is a summary of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, which summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as an exhibit.

PURCHASE PRICE.  The total purchase price is $11,850,000, subject to certain prorations and adjustments at the closing.  The Purchaser delivered an initial deposit of $118,500 to Fidelity National Title Company (“Escrow Agent”).

FEASIBILITY PERIOD.  The feasibility period ends 30 days after the Effective Date. Upon termination of the feasibility period, the Purchaser is required to deliver to Escrow Agent an additional deposit of $118,500.  If the Purchaser fails to notify the Registrant in writing of its intent to terminate the contract prior to the end of the feasibility period, the two deposits will become non-refundable.

CLOSING.  The expected closing date of the transaction is June 2, 2008. The Registrant has the right to extend the closing to the last business day of the month in which the closing date otherwise would occur by delivering written notice to the Purchaser. The closing is also subject to customary closing conditions and deliveries.

COSTS AND FEES.  The Purchaser will pay transfer, sales, use, gross receipts or similar taxes, recording costs, any premiums or fees required to be paid with respect to the title policy and one half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent. The Registrant will pay one-half of the customary closing costs of the Escrow Agent.  

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  The Registrant and the Purchaser each made limited representations and warranties to the other.

RISK OF LOSS.The risk of loss or damage to Plantation Crossing by reason of any insured or uninsured casualty during the period through and including the closing date equal to or less than $250,000 will be borne by the Registrant.  The Registrant must maintain in full force and effect until the closing date all existing insurance coverage on Plantation Crossing.

ASSIGNMENT.  With the exception of an assignment to an affiliate of the Purchaser, the Purchase Agreement is not assignable by the Purchaser without first obtaining the prior written approval of the Registrant.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  If the Purchaser defaults on its obligations to deliver when required any required deposits, the purchase price or any other specified deliveries, then the Purchaser will forfeit its deposits to the Registrant, and neither party will be obligated to proceed with the purchase and sale.  The Registrant expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for any such defaults by the Purchaser.

If the Registrant, prior to the closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations then the Purchaser has the option of (i) terminating the Purchase Agreement, receiving a return of its deposits, and recovering, as its sole recoverable damages its documented direct and actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs up to $50,000 or (ii) seeking specific performance of the Registrant’s obligation to deliver the deed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
