Minnesota Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson — the highest-paid nonquarterback 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. He’s putting his four-bedroom home on the market this weekend for $439,000.
That’s a bit above the current $401,000 median sales price for Twin Cities homes but about 1% of the 26-year-old’s yearly salary.
“It’s a great townhouse, a former model home and has been beautifully maintained and upgraded,” said listing agent Jeffrey Dewing. “It’s a gorgeous, turn-key end unit.”
Dewing declined to comment on Jefferson’s 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. It’s 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 Jefferson’s at-home life there, documented during the 2023 season.
