Russell Wilson Out as Denver’s Quarterback: Fate of Cherry Hills Mansion in Limbo
With rumors making waves in Denver’s real estate scene, star quarterback Russell Wilson and his wife, singer-songwriter Ciara, might be privately shopping their home. The property, which holds the record as the most expensive home ever sold in the Denver area, is seemingly open to offers and tours for prospective buyers, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Purchased in April 2022 for a staggering $25 million, shortly after Wilson’s trade to the Denver Broncos, the mansion stands as a testament to luxury living. Situated on Cherry Hills Park Drive, the sprawling estate spans 20,000 square feet across 5 acres of prime land. The residence exudes sophistication and elegance, boasting our bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, his-and-hers walk-in closets, offices, and lavish bathroom suites.
Its impressive amenities include a 2,590-square-foot indoor swimming pool, perfect for year-round relaxation and entertainment. Additionally, the property features a basketball court and a guest apartment complete with a kitchen, offering unparalleled comfort and convenience.
Since the Broncos announced their plan to release Wilson when the new league year starts, there’s likely a trend for the high-profile couple, with an official decision to list their Cherry Hills Village mansion likely to follow suit.
Will Buyers or Sellers Strike Luck This March?
Billy Zane famously said in Titanic, “A real man “takes his luck.” What better” way for buyers and sellers to enter the Denver real estate market this month than by crafting their luck with a strategic approach tailored to capitalize on current market conditions?
As interest rates fluctuate between 6-7%, the delicate balance of market advantage shifts between buyers and sellers. Sellers capitalize on the bustling spring season by presenting their homes in the best light possible. Well-maintained, staged, and appropriately priced properties are garnering multiple offers and going under contract within days of hitting the market. Meanwhile, buyers are facing substantial house payments and maintaining high expectations. While some are willing to invest heavily in their dream homes, others strategically seek deals on properties that have lingered due to issues like deferred maintenance or overpricing.
The month-over-month metrics prove that the spring market is heating up just as anticipated. With a jump in inventory, more homes going under contract and closing, rising sales prices, and a decrease in days on the market, it’s transparent that the spring real estate market is charging full steam ahead. Whether you are searching for your dream home or looking to capitalize on your property’s properties, a knowledgeable real estate agent is essential to help you easily navigate the process.
