Comstock Reports Third Quarter 2024 Results YTD Revenue growth for 23rd consecutive period as Company prepares for next significant growth phase • $13.0 million of revenue; YTD revenue of $34.4 million ◦ 154% increase in recurring fee-based Property & Parking Management revenue; YTD up over 100% ◦ $1.1 million QTD and YTD increase in supplemental fee revenue related to commercial leases • Solid net income/Adjusted EBITDA performance despite impact of scheduled Q3 incentive fee trigger event that was temporarily deferred for seven commercial assets • Operating cash flow increase of $3.3 million vs. prior year; $3.9 million generated in Q3 alone • 26 additional AUM vs. prior year, primarily driven by rapid ParkX Management expansion • 4 new commercial leases executed in Q3, representing 39,000 sqft. of office and retail spaces • Residential managed portfolio 95% leased; in-place rent growth of 5% vs. prior year RESTON, Va. — November 7, 2024 — Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHCI) (“Comstock” or the “Company”), a leading asset manager, developer, and operator of mixed-use and transit-oriented properties in the Washington, D.C. region, announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. “In Q3, we continued to execute on our strategic plan, generating year-to-date revenue that has grown versus the prior year for 23 consecutive periods and is at an all-time high, dating back to the shift to our current business model that we began in 2018,” said Christopher Clemente, Comstock’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The recurring, fee-based revenue streams we generate from the high-quality assets we manage have established a stable growth platform. Paired with the recent expansion of our supplemental fees schedule related to commercial leasing, as well as the significant AUM growth we are currently projecting, we have the benefit of clear visibility on future top line growth in Q4 and beyond.” Mr. Clemente continued, “Our asset-light, debt-free business model continues to generate cash, nearly $4 million in Q3 2024 alone. As a result, we are well-positioned to expand our Institutional Venture Platform, the focus of which is joint venture acquisitions of strategic real estate investments that are value-add and capable of generating high return on invested capital. Our current managed portfolio remains in-demand and leased far above industry averages, and our development pipeline includes The Row at Reston Station, the ongoing ~$1.5 billion development that will be substantially delivered by the 2nd half of 2025. I am extremely excited for our next significant phase of growth as well as what the future holds for Comstock and all its stakeholders.” Key Performance Metrics ($ in thousands, except per share and portfolio data) Q3 2024 Q3 2023 YTD 2024 YTD 2023 Revenue $ 12,995 $ 14,463 $ 34,386 $ 33,705 Net income $ 2,377 $ 4,685 $ 4,233 $ 5,914 Adjusted EBITDA 3,133 5,605 6,220 8,258 Net income per share — diluted $ 0.23 $ 0.46 $ 0.41 $ 0.59 Managed Portfolio - # of assets 72 46 72 46 Please see the included financial tables for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. 1 Exhibit 99.1

Adjusted EBITDA The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable financial measure as measured in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net income (loss) $ 2,377 $ 4,685 $ 4,233 $ 5,914 Interest income (169) — (476) — Income taxes 568 332 1,135 635 Depreciation and amortization 77 74 218 212 Stock-based compensation 205 273 741 777 (Gain) loss on real estate ventures 75 241 369 720 Adjusted EBITDA $ 3,133 $ 5,605 $ 6,220 $ 8,258 The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are primarily driven by higher net income in 2023 due to the recognition of material supplemental incentive fee revenue, which was partially offset by the significant increases in recurring fee-based property and parking management revenue in 2024. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding the impact of interest expense (net of interest income), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and gain or loss on equity method investments in real estate ventures. We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate financial performance, analyze the underlying trends in our business and establish operational goals and forecasts that are used when allocating resources. We expect to compute Adjusted EBITDA consistently using the same methods each period. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure because it permits investors to better understand changes over comparative periods by providing financial results that are unaffected by certain non-cash items that are not considered by management to be indicative of our operational performance. While we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors when evaluating our business, it is not prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, and therefore should be considered supplemental in nature. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute, for other financial performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. COMSTOCK HOLDING COMPANIES, INC. Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited; In thousands) 5
