Now, many weeks later, insurance companies are issuing checks to cover the cost of the destroyed home, allowing those with certain policies to rebuild the home or replace it altogether.
In addition, many families are eager to move into a permanent home after weeks of creating a housing boom. In the Dayton area, many homes are only staying on the market 24-48 hours.

Leverett pointed out that the hottest real estate markets right now are those with high-ranking school districts, such as Oakwood, Beavercreek and Kettering, as well as those in the northern parts of Montgomery County like Vandalia and Northmont.
