Danny Amendola Sells Austin Home

UPDATED 3/2/26 5pm

Former National Football League player Danny Amendola sold one of his Austin homes last month for 65 percent of its original listing price.

Represented by Compass agent Lander Peerman, the Super Bowl-winning wide receiver sold his home on Red Bud Trail in West Lake Hills for $3.6 million, the Wall Street Journal reported. He initially listed the home for $5.5 million in October, then lowered the price to $5 million in December, which was the asking price at the time of the sale, according to Redfin.

The sale closed on Jan. 12, public records show.

Deed records show the buyer of Amendola’s home is JNO 2024 Irrevocable Trust. The trust’s mailing address, a wealth management firm in Ohio, isn’t associated with any other parcel in Texas, based on 2024 data provided by the state. A similarly named entity registered to local entrepreneurs Abe and Jennifer Oeltjen, JNO Properties LLC, owns other properties in the area.

Amendola’s home is a 1968 Mid-century Modern estate that he extensively remodeled himself. He bought the 4,800-square-foot home on a 1.1-acre lot for about $2 million in 2017, according to the WSJ and Travis County records. The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home boasts location in the highly rated Eanes Independent School District.

West Lake Hills is one of Austin’s highest-priced neighborhoods, and compared to other luxury enclaves, it’s remained relatively stable since Austin residential sales started to decline after 2022. The average home sale price in Amendola’s ZIP code leapt 13 percent year over year in 2022 to about $2,198,000; by 2025, it had fallen by just $4,000 to about $2,194,000, according to Team Price Real Estate.

Amendola also owns a neighboring house through an LLC, according to Travis County property records and the WSJ.

“Covid really screwed up everything. It inflated prices in Austin even more than Dallas and Houston. And then ’23 and ’24 and ’25 came, and it was like this painful three-year period where everything had to correct,” Peerman said.

But winter is traditionally a slow season for home sales, and agents are optimistic about this spring and summer.

“I do believe this year is more of a transition year, and we might be getting back to a regular kind of market,” Peerman said.

Amendola retired from the NFL in 2022 after stints at the New England Patriots, the Miami Dolphins and the Houston Texans.

An earlier version of the story included a quote from Lander Peerman, saying the home was first listed privately. The information was incorrect, and the quote was removed.
