Former Raider's $7M Henderson Home Listed

What Happened

Andre James, who spent six seasons as the starting center for the Raiders, listed his Seven Hills home in Henderson for $7 million in late June 2026. The listing agent is Cami Lincowski of Serhant. James joined the Raiders in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of UCLA. He then earned contract extensions in 2021 and 2024 before the team released him in March 2025. He now plays for the Tennessee Titans.

The home itself is big, but not the biggest on the market. It sits on just under half an acre and covers 8,480 square feet across three stories. It has five bedrooms and eight bathrooms. Lincowski described the property as "rare, impeccable and distinct." The home was originally built in 2002, so it is not a brand-new build. What makes it feel new is the work James put into it after he bought it in 2024.

When James took over the home, he did a full refresh. He replastered the pool, redesigned the pergola, and added a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Inside, the main level is anchored by what the listing calls a "luxurious primary suite" with a spa-style bathroom and a custom walk-in closet. The main floor also has a chef's kitchen with two oversized islands, quartz countertops, premium stainless steel appliances, a butler's pantry, a walk-in pantry, and custom drapery throughout.

The home was designed for multigenerational living. Even though it is three stories, it can live like a one-story home because all the major spaces sit on the main level. There is a second en-suite bedroom on the main floor. The other three en-suite bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, are on the second floor. But the real showpiece is up top. The third floor holds the sky lounge, with its wet bar, private cigar room, and a wraparound terrace built for sunset views of the Strip and the mountains. "It's literally the best part of the home," Lincowski said.

Lincowski went further when she described that top floor. "It's just one full story of relaxing, entertaining, a bar, multiple TVs, a wraparound balcony," she said. She also spoke about the views from up there. "The home is great, but up there the sunsets are spectacular, the city lights, just everything about it is breathtaking, and everyone that's seen it can't believe that something like this exists in Vegas." That reaction is exactly what a listing agent wants buyers to feel the moment they step onto the terrace.

The location adds another layer to the appeal. The home sits on the Serket Golf Club course inside Seven Hills, so the golf frontage is real, not just marketing. Lincowski summed up the property's edge by pointing to three features that rarely show up together. "It's on the golf course, has unobstructed Strip views and valley views of the mountains," she said. She called that combination something "every homeowner seeks at least one of," and noted that this home carries all three at once. For a buyer chasing a view lot, that is the whole ballgame.

Why It Matters to Las Vegas Residents

You might wonder why a $7 million listing matters to regular homeowners in Henderson or Las Vegas. Most of us will never buy a home at this price. But high-end listings like this one act like a weather vane for the whole market. When luxury homes get listed and sold at strong prices, it signals confidence at the top of the market. That confidence tends to trickle down into the mid-range neighborhoods where most families actually buy and sell.

Seven Hills is one of Henderson's most established master-planned communities. It sits in the southern part of the city with easy access to the 215 Beltway. It is known for golf, guard-gated pockets, and homes that hold their value well. When a home in Seven Hills draws national attention because a pro athlete owned it, more buyers start searching for the neighborhood by name. That interest can lift demand for homes at every price point inside the community.

There is also a lifestyle story here that resonates with local buyers. This home leans into the things Henderson does best: golf course frontage, unobstructed Strip views, and mountain backdrops. Those three features together are hard to find in one property. Lincowski pointed out that this home has all three, and she called that combination something "every homeowner seeks at least one of." Buyers who want that view-and-golf lifestyle are exactly the people who keep Henderson's premium neighborhoods in demand.

For sellers in the valley, this listing is a useful reminder. Homes that are updated and move-in ready command attention and stronger offers, even when the broader market cools. James did not just live in this home. He invested in it with a pool redo, a new pergola, and an outdoor kitchen. That kind of work is what separates a home that sits on the market from one that generates buzz and showings.

The multigenerational design is worth a second look too, because it speaks to a growing local need. More families in Southern Nevada are living under one roof across two or three generations. Grandparents, adult children, and grandkids are sharing homes to pool resources and share care. A layout that puts a primary suite and a second bedroom on the main level, with more bedrooms upstairs, fits that reality. Even at $7 million, the design choices here reflect the same things buyers want at $500,000: a main-floor bedroom, flexible space, and rooms that work for real family life.

There is also a practical takeaway about buyer expectations at the top of the market. Buyers spending seven figures want turnkey homes. They do not want to renovate. When a seller delivers a home that has already been refreshed with new finishes and outdoor upgrades, the property competes on lifestyle instead of on projects. That same principle helps sellers in mid-range Henderson neighborhoods. A clean, updated home almost always beats a dated one sitting next door at a similar price.

Background and History

Henderson has quietly become the address of choice for pro athletes, entertainers, and executives who move to Southern Nevada. The state has no personal income tax, which is a major draw for high earners. Homes in guard-gated communities offer privacy that is hard to get in other cities. And the drive to the airport and the Strip is short. That mix has turned neighborhoods like Seven Hills, MacDonald Highlands, and Lake Las Vegas into magnets for luxury buyers.

This particular home is not the only eye-catching Henderson listing making headlines this summer. Magician Lance Burton recently reacquired his castle-themed Henderson mansion and put it back on the market. A not-yet-built home at MacDonald Highlands sold for $10.5 million earlier in June. Henderson keeps producing the kind of trophy properties that spread far beyond real estate circles and get shared across social media.

The wider luxury trend backs this up. A recent Realtor.com report placed the Las Vegas Valley in the top 10 U.S. metros for luxury home price growth since the pandemic began. High-demand areas like Lake Las Vegas and MacDonald Highlands anchor that trend, and luxury sellers in Henderson and Summerlin have gained major equity since 2020. A $7 million listing fits right into that story of a luxury market that has boomed and stayed strong.

It also helps to remember how Seven Hills got here. The community was master-planned around a golf course, and this home sits on the Serket Golf Club course. Golf course frontage was a premium selling point when the neighborhood was built, and it still is. Homes that back to the fairway with open sightlines tend to be the ones that hold and grow in value the most, because that view cannot be built out or blocked by a new neighbor.

The athlete-owner angle is not new for Henderson either. Over the years, players from the Raiders, the Golden Knights, and other pro teams have chosen the city's gated communities for the privacy and the tax benefits. When a player lists a home, it often draws attention from fans and from the national real estate press. That extra spotlight can help a listing move faster, because the property gets exposure it would never earn on its own. In this case, the fact that a former starting center owned and remodeled the home became part of the sales pitch.

It is worth understanding who Andre James is for local context. He came to the Raiders as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and worked his way into the starting center job, protecting the quarterback and anchoring the offensive line for years. He signed extensions in 2021 and 2024, which is why he could invest in a home at this level. The Raiders released him in March 2025, and he now plays for the Tennessee Titans. Selling the Henderson home is a normal step for a player whose career has moved to another city, and it reflects how quickly pro sports can reshape where someone calls home.

What Happens Next

The home is now active on the market at $7 million. What happens next depends on how the luxury segment holds up through the rest of the summer. Trophy homes at this price often take longer to sell than mid-range houses. The buyer pool is small, and buyers at this level are picky. It is normal for a home like this to sit for weeks or even months before the right person walks through the door.

The listing price is a starting point, not a promise. Luxury homes frequently sell below their first asking price, and price adjustments are common when a home is chasing a narrow buyer pool. Watch for whether the listing holds at $7 million, drops, or goes under contract quickly. Each of those outcomes tells us something about how much appetite there is at the top of the Henderson market right now.

Keep an eye on the broader Henderson luxury pipeline too. With Lance Burton's castle back on the market and fresh high-end sales at MacDonald Highlands, the summer of 2026 is stacked with premium inventory. If several of these homes move at or near ask, it confirms that luxury demand is still strong. If they linger, it may hint that even the high end is starting to feel the cooling that showed up in the valley's new-home sales this spring.

Another thing to watch is who ends up buying. Luxury homes in Henderson often go to out-of-state buyers relocating from California and other high-tax states. Nevada's lack of a state income tax keeps pulling wealth toward Southern Nevada. If this home sells to a relocating buyer, it reinforces a pattern that has driven the valley's luxury boom for years. That inflow of buyers is one of the main reasons Henderson's high-end market has stayed resilient even as mortgage rates climbed and cooled other parts of the market.

Ryan's Take

As a local agent, I love when a home like this hits the market, because it teaches a lesson that applies at every price point. Andre James did not coast on the fact that a pro athlete owned the home. He put real money into it. He replastered the pool, redesigned the pergola, and built out an outdoor kitchen. That is why the listing reads as "impeccable" and move-in ready, and that is what generates showings and strong offers.

The other lesson is about location features that cannot be replaced. This home has golf course frontage, Strip views, and mountain views all at once. You cannot manufacture that trio. Those are the features that protect a home's value when the market softens, and they are the first things I tell luxury buyers to prioritize. Whether you are shopping at $700,000 or $7 million in Henderson, the same rule holds: buy the view and the location you cannot change, then update the finishes you can. That is how you end up with a home that stands out when it is your turn to sell.

What You Can Do

If a home like this makes you curious about the Henderson luxury market, you do not need $7 million to start learning. You can browse active listings in Seven Hills, MacDonald Highlands, and Lake Las Vegas to see what your money buys at different price points. Watching how long these homes stay on the market and whether they cut prices gives you a real feel for demand, not just headlines.

If you own a home in a premium Henderson community, this is a good time to think about what makes your property stand out. Updated finishes, a refreshed pool, and outdoor living spaces are the upgrades that draw buyers and stronger offers. Before you spend on any big project, talk to a local agent about which improvements actually add value in your specific neighborhood. Not every upgrade pays you back, and the answer changes from one community to the next.

And if you are simply thinking about buying or selling anywhere in the valley, whether it is your first home or a move up to a view lot, the smart first step is a conversation about your goals and your numbers. Knowing what you can afford and what your current home is worth puts you in a strong position long before you ever tour a property.
