Item 8.01 Other Events

On March 31, 2006, Dominion Homes, Inc. (the “Company”), Dominion Homes Financial Services, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“DHFS”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and its wholly owned subsidiary Wells Fargo Ventures, LLC (collectively, “Wells Fargo”), substantially completed the establishment of, and transfer of DHFS assets to, Centennial Home Mortgage, LLC (“Centennial Mortgage”), a Delaware limited liability company and joint venture that will operate as a full-service mortgage bank to the Company’s customers and the general public.

Pursuant to a Limited Liability Company Contribution and Subscription Agreement between DHFS and Centennial Mortgage dated March 31, 2006 (the “Contribution Agreement”), DHFS acquired 100% of the membership units in Centennial Mortgage in exchange for certain DHFS assets. These assets include floating pipeline loans, equipment, employees and other tangible and intangible assets. The Company expects that the transfer of these assets will be completed in the next 90 days. DHFS then sold 50.1% of its membership interest in Centennial Mortgage to Wells Fargo in exchange for $1,837,575 in cash, as set forth in an Assignment of Interest agreement (the “Assignment of Interest”) effective the same date. Upon completion of these transactions, Centennial Mortgage became an operating subsidiary of Wells Fargo.

On April 4, 2006, the Company issued a press release regarding the completion of these transactions, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
