"Real estate agents like Joan Lonergan, of Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty in Woodstock, say two- and three-bedroom houses bring $180,000 to $410,000. And more would sell, they said, if some owners were not waiting to see if prices will go up as a result of the attacks... From Westhampton to Woodstock, people are looking for escape routes -- or at least an escape into nature."
