June 24, 2025•2 min read

If you’ve been wondering what’s happening in the Dothan real estate market, you’re not alone. Whether you're a homeowner thinking about selling, or just curious about your neighborhood, this blog will give you insider insight into where local real estate investors are buying properties in 2025 — and why it matters to you.

At Carter Logan Real Estate, we don’t just help homeowners sell their houses fast — we study the market every day. That means we know where homes are moving fast, what buyers are looking for, and where opportunity is growing in Dothan, Alabama.


🏡 Why This Matters (Even If You’re Not an Investor)

If you’re a homeowner in one of these areas, it could mean:

  • You can sell faster than you think

  • Investors like us may be actively buying in your zip code

  • You may not need to fix up or list with an agent to sell


📍 Neighborhood 1: Chapelwood

Chapelwood continues to be one of Dothan’s hottest spots for off-market deals. Investors love the area for its:

  • Brick homes from the 70s and 80s

  • Larger lot sizes

  • Proximity to Flowers Hospital and Ross Clark Circle

Properties here often need cosmetic updates — and that’s exactly what investors are looking for. If you own a fixer-upper in Chapelwood, you may be sitting on a deal waiting to happen.


📍 Neighborhood 2: Southside Dothan

Southside has seen rising investor activity over the past 12–18 months, especially around:

  • South Park Ave

  • Cottonwood Rd

  • Near Girard Intermediate and Selma St. schools

This area is attractive for rentals and flips because of its affordability and strong rental demand. Homes here that need work are being picked up within days if priced right.


📍 Neighborhood 3: Garden District

The Garden District, known for its historic charm, is attracting flippers and buy-and-hold investors. Many homes here were built pre-1950 and have:

  • Original hardwood floors

  • Large porches

  • Tons of character — and potential

If your home is in the Garden District and hasn’t been updated in years, it may be a perfect candidate for an all-cash investor purchase.


💡 What If You’re Thinking About Selling?

If your house is:

  • Vacant

  • Needs repairs

  • Part of an estate or inheritance

  • Behind on payments

…there’s a strong chance we or local investor in our network would be interested — as-is, no repairs, no commissions, and fast cash.


âś… The Bottom Line

Dothan’s real estate market is alive and growing in 2025 — and these three neighborhoods are leading the way. If you own property in Chapelwood, Southside, or the Garden District, and want to know what it could sell for without fixing it up or paying agent fees, we’d love to help.
