Dominion Homes Reports First Quarter 2006 Sales and Closings

DUBLIN, Ohio - April 7, 2006 - Dominion Homes, Inc. (NASDAQ: DHOM) reported the Company sold 475 homes, with a sales value of $89.3 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to sales of 626 homes, with a sales value of $120.8 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

The Company closed 315 homes during the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 478 homes closed for the same period a year ago. The backlog at March 31, 2006 was 590 sales contracts, with a sales value of $118.2 million, compared to 780 sales contracts, with a sales value of $157.8 million, at March 31, 2005.

While the number of homes sold declined 24% period to period, sales contracts in backlog at March 31, 2006 improved to 590 homes from 430 homes at December 31, 2005. However, home sales conditions continue to be difficult in all of our markets, as new home permits have declined by approximately 25% during the first two months of 2006. The average sales price of homes in backlog at March 31, 2006 was approximately $200,300 compared to $202,300 at March 31, 2005, reflecting more aggressive pricing of our homes.
