Market snapshot (what the dashboards show)
Zillow’s market view shows multiple price reference points depending on whether the metric reflects sales, listings, or ratios. Zillow lists a median sale price of $190,000 (Dec. 2025) and a median list price of $266,667 (Jan. 2026). Zillow also shows a 0.971 median sale-to-list ratio, a data point that can be useful for watching negotiation leverage over time.
Realtor.com’s overview presents a different snapshot. It shows a median home sale price of $269,800 and roughly 542 homes for sale. It also reports median rent around $1,300 per month and a reported median of 80 days on market. As always, these dashboards can differ based on methodology and coverage, so comparing trends within the same source can be as important as comparing across sources.
Development & policy watch
WTVY reports the City of Dothan scheduled multiple community meetings in February to gather input on how to use federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in 2026, including a Feb. 26 public hearing at the Dothan Housing Authority’s event center. For residents, buyers, and renters, these meetings can be a practical place to track how housing-related needs and neighborhood priorities are discussed for the year ahead.
