yes, the chicago real estate market is very annually cyclical.
january is the best time to buy. june is the best time to sell.
at least by closing date, the actual contract agreement usually take place 1-2 months prior, so nov./dec. is really the best time to buy, apr./may the best time to sell.
we came close to that ideal with our last move.
bought our new home low back in december.
sold our old home high this past march.
that time-stagger gave us around $30,000 extra dollars, which
MORE than made up for carrying the old property for 4 months.
