Ciara and Russell Wilson sell lakefront Washington estate for $31M: See inside the 11,100-square-foot home
They’re about to level up.
Ciara and Russell Wilson are reportedly making a massive profit off the sale of their Washington estate.
A source familiar with the real estate deal told the Wall Street Journal Wednesday that the NFL quarterback and “Goodies” singer sold their 11,100-square-foot home for $21.25 million and its adjacent lot for almost an additional $10 million, totaling $31 million for the entire estate.
In 2015, Wilson reportedly paid just $6.7 million for the six-bedroom house and an additional $6.7 million for the lot next door four years later, meaning he stands to make $17.6 million from the latest sale.
Per the Wall Street Journal’s source, the home is under contract and scheduled to close sometime in May.
Wilson, 35, was a resident of Washington because he played for the Seattle Seahawks for 10 seasons. However, he was traded in 2022 to the Denver Broncos in a massive deal worth more than $242 million.
The quarterback was then recently cut from the Mile High City team and was signed to a one-year deal with the Pittsburg Steelers in March. He will receive $1.21 million from the East Coast team while the Broncos pay the remainder of his $39 million salary.
Amid all of the tumultuousness of Wilson’s career, he and Ciara have been trying to rid themselves of the Washington property and a separate $25 million home in Denver.
In February, BusinessDen reported that the famous couple were accepting offers, and providing tours to prospective buyers for their $25 million mansion in Cherry Hills Village.
Per the Denver Post, he sold that property for $21.5 million, and actually took a loss that time, as he had paid $3.5 million more for it in 2022.
However, Wilson was able to score more with his Washington estate following several renovations that were reportedly made to the home, which also includes a gym, home theater, yoga and dance studio.
The NFL star also reportedly put a sports court on the lot, which sits on about 1.06 acres on Lake Washington.
It’s unclear whether Wilson and Ciara plan to buy a home in Pittsburgh, where his home team is based.
The couple, who wed in 2016, doesn’t just have themselves to think about. They share three kids, with their youngest, a baby girl named Amora Princess Wilson, being born just last December.

CITY COUNCIL: Rescheduled briefing on Seattle Police staffing Tuesday
Two weeks ago, we reported on information prepared for a scheduled meeting of the City Council Public Safety Committee, suggesting that SPD might have to slow its hiring because fewer officers were leaving, which posed a budget dilemma. That briefing scheduled for the committee’s June 9 meeting ultimately was postponed because it was the last item on the agenda and the previous two ran long. It’s now scheduled for tomorrow’s committee meeting (9:30 am Tuesday, June 23), same slide deck, but this time it’s the second item on the agenda, so not likely to be bumped again. It’s a regularly scheduled quarterly update, no votes scheduled nor attached proposals, but it can be viewed in the prism of the city’s looming budget shortfall. The agenda explains how to comment and/or watch, in person or remotely.
