          This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13G (the "Schedule 13G") relating to shares of common stock of MDC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") as an amendment to Schedule 13G filed with the Commission on January 26, 2001. This statement is being filed on behalf of Greenlight Capital, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Greenlight"), and Mr. David Einhorn and Mr. Jeffrey A. Keswin, the principals of Greenlight.

(c)

Greenlight has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 2,162,330 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it. As the principals of Greenlight, Messrs. Einhorn and Keswin may direct the vote and disposition of the 2,162,330 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Greenlight.
