best strategy to buy a property in the next few months

Hi,


I am planning to buy a property (first-time buyer) in Chicago suburbs, and few things that we have observed are that despite Covid-19 impact on the economy.


- housing prices are very much the same as last year

- # of properties available in the market are a little limited

- sales cycle time (from coming to the market to going to contingent) is relatively short. e.g., houses that we were following were gone within a few days.


Online-experts suggest the housing market to nose-diving around Aug'20 till the end of the year, and then it is expected to recover. They predict that the market hasn't gone down yet due to mortgage forbearance support, allowing landlords to defer mortgage payments rather than declaring bankruptcies. Once this support is gone (around August this year), we should expect to see bankruptcies impacting the housing market


Please share your thoughts and experiences.

Thanks
