A real, disclosed price spread across sources

Zillow's typical home value ran $780,999 (down 1.0% YoY); a separately cited December 2025 median sale price ran higher at $895,000; a June 2026 median listing price ran lower at $749K; and a November 2025 median sale price ran $817K (up 2.2% YoY) per a fourth citation -- all disclosed rather than reconciled.

Meaningfully below Ketchum's own comparable prices

Even at the higher end of Hailey's own disclosed price range, Hailey runs consistently, meaningfully below Ketchum's $1,556,144 typical Zillow value -- the core, sourced basis for Hailey's real identity as Ketchum's more affordable alternative.

A genuine, growing workforce housing stock

Hailey hosts 550 federal income-restricted workforce housing units built over several decades, plus the Wood River Community Housing Trust's first project (the 12-unit Skyview Residences) -- Hailey's total housing stock is projected to grow from roughly 3,700 to 4,700 units over the next decade.
