Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

305 Interlocken Parkway

On September 25, 2013, Fund VIII and Fund IX Associates (“Fund VIII-IX Associates”), a joint venture partnership between Wells Real Estate Fund VIII, L.P. and Wells Real Estate Fund IX, L.P. (the “Registrant”) entered into an agreement to sell a two-story office building containing approximately 49,000 rentable square feet and located in Broomfield, Colorado (“305 Interlocken Parkway”) to an unaffiliated third party (the "Buyer"), for a gross sales price of $6,100,000, exclusive of closing costs (the “Agreement”). The Agreement is subject to a 60-day due diligence period and a financing contingency which must be satisfied by November 30, 2013. An initial earnest money deposit of $150,000 is due from the Buyer within five business days of date of the Agreement and will become non-refundable upon the expiration of the due diligence period and satisfaction of the aforementioned financing contingency. The Registrant expects the closing of this transaction to occur during the fourth quarter of 2013; however, there are no assurances regarding when or if this sale will be completed. The Registrant holds an equity interest of approximately 45.2% in Fund VIII-IX Associates, which owns 100% of the 305 Interlocken Parkway property.
