Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 16, 2009, Comstock Penderbrook, L.C. (“Borrower”) and Comstock Homebuilding Companies, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Guarantor”) entered into a Third Amendment of Loan Agreement modifying its existing forbearance arrangement (the “Modification”) with Guggenhiem Corporate Funding, LLC (the “Lender”) with respect to the $12.15 million outstanding principal under the Borrower’s secured Penderbrook project loan (the “Loan”). The key terms of the Modification increase the cash flow available to Borrower through adjusted unit release provisions by providing Borrower twenty five percent (25%) of the net sales price of sold units on a retroactive basis for certain units previously settled and to allow for continued accelerated releases provided the Borrower satisfies certain conditions subsequent; including meeting a cumulative minimum sales requirement of three (3) units per month, ten (10) units on a quarterly basis, and otherwise satisfying certain conditions with respect to the remainder of the Company’s outstanding indebtedness (the “Modification Covenants”). Failure to meet the Modification Covenants will not result in an event of default but may result in a reversion of the unit release provisions to ten percent (10%) of the net sales price of sold units in accordance with the existing Loan documents. The Modification also provides that any deficiency notes evidencing the unsecured indebtedness issued by the Company in satisfaction of foreclosure deficiencies from other lenders be fully subordinate to the Loan.

Lender and Borrower previously entered into a forbearance arrangement with respect to the Loan on January 27, 2009 after the issuance of a notice of default to Borrower and Guarantor, the details of which were reported by the Company in a Form 8-K filing dated August 22, 2008. A subsequent Form 8-K filing dated February 4, 2009 reported the subsequent debt restructuring of the Loan.

On September 17, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the Modification. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
