Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson selling Netflix-famous $400K townhouse

Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson the highest-paid non-quartback in NFL history has spent most of his off-field time living in a typical townhouse in suburban Inver Grove Heights.

About a year after signing his four-year, $140 million contract, the star is apparently ready for an upgrade.

Hes putting his four-bedroom home on the market this weekend for $436,000.

Thats a bit above the current $401,000 median sales price for Twin Cities homes but about 1% of the 26-year-olds yearly salary.

Its a great townhouse, a former model home and has been beautifully maintained and upgraded, said listing agent Jeffrey Dewing.

Its a gorgeous, turn-key end unit.

Dewing declined to comment on Jeffersons next move.

But five years ago, the Realtor spent several days with Jefferson and his family as they house-hunted after the Vikings picked him in the first round of the 2020 draft.

They were very, very thoughtful throughout that process, Dewing said.

Jefferson paid $405,000 for the 2,360-square-foot townhouse in August 2020.

That was shortly after he signed his initial four-year, $13 million contract with a $7.1 million signing bonus.

As of 2021, Jefferson lived in the home with his younger brother .

Its about a 10- to 15-minute drive from the Vikings training facility in Eagan.

And thanks to the Netflix series Receiver, fans have even seen some scenes of Jeffersons at-home life there, documented during the 2023 season.

Despite last summers blockbuster extension which made him one of the few Minnesotans who could afford the states most expensive house listing of a $55 million Lake Minnetonka mansion Jefferson justified his modest lifestyle.

Im one person.

I aint got no big family.

I dont need to be in no $10 million dollar mansion, he told reporters during training camp a year ago.

Thats not something I came from.

Dewing is well acquainted with what money can buy in the Twin Cities.

Last year, he sold more than $100 million worth of real estate, making him the top sales agent in the state by total volume, according to a RealTrends ranking.

No Section Real Estate Real Estate Many of his clients are buying and selling multi-million-dollar houses around Lake Minnetonka and the western suburbs.

Jeffersons townhouse is a fraction of the size and price of Dewings current most expensive listing, a $12.5 million Hamptons-style house on Lake Minnetonka.

In fact, its now Dewings second least-expensive listing.

Perhaps whatever Jefferson buys next will eventually take the top spot.

I never grew up having no big ol house, the Louisiana native said last year.

Maybe Ill move on to that.

Maybe not.

I guess well find out sooner or later..
