Shaq lists Carrollton home for $1.7M amid strong DFW luxury sales

NBA superstar Shaquille O’Neal is selling one of his homes in Dallas-Fort Worth. 

Shaq has listed his 5,270-square-foot Carrollton estate at 4012 Sahara Court Carrollton, for just under $1.7 million, the Dallas Morning News reported. The price is under $322 per square foot. Zac Gideo of Rogers Healy and Associates Real Estate has the listing. 

O’Neal purchased the home, located in Gates of Prestonwood, for $1.22 million in 2022. Built in 2005, it features five bedrooms, high-end kitchen appliances, a library with a fireplace, an open-concept living space with views of the lagoon-style pool, walk-in attic spaces and a six-seat media room. 

The move to sell his Carrollton estate comes after O’Neal’s recent purchase of a 4,670-square-foot home in Rockwall County. The sale price wasn’t disclosed in the property records, but the Rockwall Central Appraisal District shows the home’s appraised value is $1.7 million. 

While O’Neal primarily used his Carrollton home as a part-time residence, the location of his Rockwall County home will likely play a key role in helping him expand his chain of O’Neal’s Big Chicken restaurants throughout the region. 

O’Neal’s Carrollton home is being marketed by Gideo, who was also the buyer’s agent for O’Neal’s home in Health, purchased in April through O’Neal’s the Chexy Trust.

The Dallas-Fort Worth luxury market is having a strong year so far, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University. Sales of homes priced $1 million or more were up 28 percent in May, compared to the previous year, with about 500 sales.

“Year-to-date sales of all homes in the Dallas-Plano-Irving metro division are up 2.15 percent compared to last year,” Texas Real Estate Research Center analysts wrote. “However, after taking out the million-dollar listings, the remaining home sales were flat at 0 percent over the same period.”
