January 2023 Hailey Housing Report
The need for workforce housing in Hailey and the larger Wood River Valley is longstanding, yet it has grown to crisis levels in recent years. The availability and affordability of housing here is challenged by historically high building costs; our proximity to the seasonal and resort-based economy of Sun Valley; prices driven by second-home owners and newer remote workers; land scarcity; and underbuilding, nationally and locally.
