RELEASE UPON VERBAL APPROVAL
Tuesday, November 10, 1998
                                       
                       CALPROP REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
                                          
            Company Reports $2.9 million in Profits in the Third Quarter

MARINA DEL REY, CA, NOVEMBER 10, 1998 --  Calprop Corporation (OTCBB:CLPO), a 
California and Colorado home builder, in reporting financial results for the 
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, today reported that it 
has earned a net profit from operations for both the three and nine month 
periods ended September 30, 1998.

     "For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, 
Calprop recognized a profit from operations.  This is our second profitable 
quarter in succession as the Northern and Southern California markets 
continue to provide robust housing sales.  Though we closed 60 units this 
quarter, our total units in backlog remain high at 138 units, $29,835,000, up 
343.0% from 36 units, $6,735,000 a year ago.  This backlog and the 
commencement of the development of two projects in the last ninety days is 
the impetus for recognizing the $2,330,000 in benefit for income taxes," said 
Victor Zaccaglin, Calprop s chairman and chief executive officer.

      "In a return to our apartment development roots, we have entered into 
escrow to acquire three properties which we plan on developing apartment 
housing.  These properties are located in San Luis Obispo, Milpitas and San 
Diego, California.  Calprop plans on starting construction on these projects 
in mid-to-late 1999.  We look forward to having an income stream generated 
from apartment holdings," Zaccaglin said.

     For the third quarter, Calprop's revenues were $12.0 million, an 
increase of $6.9 million or 135.0% from $5.1 million of revenues in the third 
quarter a year ago.  Income from development operations was $1,122,684 for 
the third quarter, up $1,090,613 or 3400.6% compared to the $32,071 in the 
same quarter in the prior year.  Net income for the third quarter of 1998 was 
$2,896,652 or $0.27 per share on 10,607,036 weighted average shares and 
common stock equivalents, compared with a net loss of ($325,344), or ($0.04) 
per share on 9,222,785 weighted average shares and common stock equivalents, 
in the same quarter a year ago.  The improved results were primarily driven 
by an increase in construction gross margin and the recognition of $2,330,000 
in benefit for income taxes.

     For the year-to-date period, revenues were $22.5 million, up 16.1% from 
$19.3 million in 1997.  Income from development operations was $1,740,173 for 
the nine months ended September 30, 1998, up $1,674,433 or 2547.1% compared 
to $65,740 the same period in the prior year.  The company reported net 
income of $2,508,156, or $0.24 per share on 10,310,044 weighted average 
shares and common stock equivalents, for the nine months ended September 30, 
1998, compared with a net loss of $1,335,220, or ($0.11) per share on 
9,223,671 weighted average shares and common stock equivalents, in the same 
period in 1997.  The improved results were primarily driven by an increase in 
contribution margin to 7.75% up from 0.34% during the same period in the 
prior year and the recognition of $2,330,000 in benefit for income taxes.
