Military housing shows resilience

April 14th, 2010

Written by Frost Mortgage

Military housing (subscription required) has been dented by the economy, but not as badly as the civilian sector, National Mortgage News reports. Moody’s Investors Services downgraded nine of 23 housing developments at bases around the country, largely the result of declining credit ratings of surety providers.

The news highlights the fact that, if you’re in the service, now’s a great time to capitalize on some of the benefits. As we mentioned recently, for instance, the homebuyer tax credit is about to run out for most of us, but military personnel will have an extra year to take advantage of it.
