Simone Biles Sold Her Houston-Area Home: Price, Details & Why She Moved
Yes — Simone Biles sold her Houston-area home in October 2026. The Olympic gymnast posted a tearful goodbye video on TikTok around Oct. 20, saying the house she lived in for six years had gone on the market and sold within days. The video spread fast, and by Oct. 22 outlets including USA Today, People, Parade, InStyle, Sports Illustrated, and the Houston Business Journal were all covering the sale.
Here’s what happened with the house, what it sold for, and why she moved out.
The Home She Sold
The property is a 3,998-square-foot house in Spring, Texas — about 25 miles north of Houston — in the gated Castle Court section of Benders Landing Estates. It was built in 2019 and sits on more than an acre of land.
According to the listing, the four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home includes:
- A private swimming pool
- A media room
- A custom wine wall
- A gated lot with over an acre of land
Biles lived there for six years. In her TikTok video she said she “grew up in this house,” and when commenters got confused, she clarified that this was the older house — not the new one she built with her husband.
Sale Price and Timeline
The house was listed in late September 2026 — most reports say Sept. 26 — for $1.275 million. Mansion Global first reported the listing.
In her TikTok caption, Biles said the house “sold in 4 days,” but listing records tell a slightly different story: it went under contract about 5–6 days after hitting the market, with sources varying slightly on the exact count. The deal closed on Oct. 15.
The final price wasn’t officially disclosed. Data from the Houston Association of Realtors, reported by the Houston Business Journal, puts the sale between $1.08 million and $1.24 million — and that’s the figure People and USA Today echoed. So the honest number is a range, not a single price.
Why She Sold It
Simple: she and her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens, had already moved into the custom home they built together. The two married in April 2023 after meeting on the dating app Raya in March 2020.
The new place is a lakefront “dream home” that took about five years to become real — design work began in 2020, construction broke ground in February 2022, and it was completed on Nov. 11, 2025. Sports Illustrated has described it as a $3 million mansion with a pool and spa, a home theater, a basketball court, and a wet bar — though the couple has never publicly confirmed what it cost.
Two houses, two different places — that distinction matters, because a lot of the social media chatter mixed them up. A quick timeline:
- 2019: the Spring house was built; Biles lived there for six years
- 2020–2025: she and Owens designed and built their new custom lakefront home
- Oct. 2026: the Spring house sold
Biles also told Parade on Oct. 22 that she has moved to Indianapolis for Owens’ season.
Why It Sold So Fast
A multi-million-dollar celebrity listing drawing a buyer in under a week isn’t typical — but the Houston luxury market helps explain it. Homes in gated communities like Benders Landing Estates are in steady demand, inventory at the upper end stays low, and a well-known seller doesn’t hurt. A 4,000-square-foot home on over an acre with a pool, priced at $1.275 million, is exactly the kind of listing that moves quickly when there’s a buyer waiting.
One thing to ignore: a rumor floating around some low-quality sites claimed Biles bought the house for $650,000 in 2020 and sold it to a Dallas private-equity firm for a hotel conversion. No reputable outlet has reported that, and there’s nothing to back it up.
