Heat Guard Victor Oladipo Lists Miami Beach Home for $9.995 Million

Miami Heat shooting guard Victor Oladipo is listing his Miami Beach, Fla., home for $9.995 million, according to listing agent Liz Hogan of Compass.

The roughly 6,500-square-foot home is located on Hibiscus Island, a gated island south of the Venetian Islands, Hogan said.

Oladipo said he purchased the seven-bedroom home for $7.75 million in 2021, after he was traded from the Houston Rockets. He chose the home because of its location about 3 miles from the Heat arena, he said. The modern house, built in 2020, has several terraces and a pool. The NBA All-Star, who is also a vocalist, added a $50,000 recording studio to the guesthouse, he said. 

The “Connected” singer said he has used the studio to record songs for his as-of-yet-untitled next album. He also held his daughter’s first birthday party at the house, he said.

The roughly ⅓-acre lot is larger than average for the area, said Hogan. Still, Oladipo, who is originally from Maryland, said he plans to buy a home with more land for his daughter.

“I would love for my daughter to have a tennis court, or just land so she can run and play around,” he said. 

Oladipo joined the NBA in 2013. He is out for the season after an injury in April, according to the Heat. The team is facing off against the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals after exceeding expectations in the playoffs. Oladipo released Tunde, an Afrobeats album, in February, he said.

In Miami Beach and the Barrier Islands, single-family homes sold for an average of about $5.44 million in the first quarter, up 24.2% from the same time last year, though the number of sales fell about 55.3% during the same period, according to a Douglas Elliman report.
