SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - June 26, 2008) - Nexia Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: NXHL) announced today that it has entered into final arrangements for the sale of the real property owned by Downtown Development Corporation (DDC), a subsidiary of Nexia, located in the 1300 South Block of State Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. The agreement for the sale of the property provides for a purchase price of $1.01 million.

Nexia's CEO Richard Surber expects the transaction to close within the next 60 days. The sale will include the building and the undeveloped lot which was recently acquired by DDC at this location. The buyer has completed their due diligence on the property and has indicated that they intend to proceed to closing.
