Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleveland lead the list of Zillow's top real estate buyers' markets, with homes in those metropolitan areas taking longer to sell and buyers receiving an average discount of 5 percent off asking prices.

Along with publishing a list of the top ten buyers' markets, online real estate marketplace Zillow published a list of the top ten sellers' markets, with San Jose, Calif., and San Francisco topping the list.

To rank the 50 largest metropolitan areas by negotiating power for sellers and buyers, Zillow analyzed its data for sale-to-list price ratio, number of days listed on Zillow, and percent of homes on the market with a price cut.

Zillow defined a buyers' market as an area where buyers have more bargaining power, with listings lingering longer on the market and "sellers being forced to cut asking prices."

Zillow Chief Economist Stan Humphries said it was "refreshing to see some markets swinging back in favor of sellers, with asking prices being met and listings spending fewer days on market."

"The housing recession has been long and rocky, and we're seeing more balance during this summer selling season," Humphries said in a statement. "Of course, many markets are still firmly in favor of buyers, and we expect that to continue until the recovery takes more of a hold nationwide."

• Sale-to-list price ratio: 0.9488

• Homes with price cuts: 39.7 percent

• Average days on Zillow: 161.5

Distil: Milwaukee Street’s Newest Hot Spot

Distil: Milwaukee Street’s Newest Hot Spot

By Jeff Beutner
 
It is easy to walk right past Distil, the newest hot spot at 722 N. Milwaukee St., with its simple signage on a narrow, windowless brick faade. But walk in and you will find a long bar, a row of double tables and dark, coppery color tones that nod to the ultimate speak-easy. Distil is the creation of Mike Polaski, the owner of other nearby properties like Carnevor and Umami Moto. Instead of beer, this is the place to order the hard stuff. Try one of the crafted cocktails like the Apt. 137, which blends huckleberry vodka with ginger juice, lemon sorbet and blueberry nectar. The heirloom tomato daiquiri is another mixologist work of art. The food offerings are focused on fine cheeses and cured meats. Try a flight of distinguished blue cheeses followed with lardo and organic prosciutto. Everything is top shelf. Your evening may not be cheap, but it will be memorable.
