He bought it as a rookie in 2020 for $1.7 million and sold it in July 2025 for $2.6 million, per Homes.com and The Real Deal. As of September 2026 no new purchase has been reported, though he remains the Dolphins' quarterback and reporting says he plans to stay in South Florida.

Where does Tua Tagovailoa live in Florida?
The Dolphins drafted Tagovailoa fifth overall in April 2020. Within months he had bought a house in Davie, a town in western Broward County that has long been a base for the team's players. The Dolphins' old training facility was in Davie until 2021, when the team moved to Miami Gardens, and many players never left the area.
His home was in Long Lake Ranches, a gated community in the town's Robbins Park section. Local 10 described a guarded entrance, tennis courts, horseback trails and a fitness center, with the stadium about 25 minutes away. The lots are large by South Florida standards. His sat on nearly an acre with a lake behind it.
That chapter closed in 2025. He listed the house in April at $3 million, Local 10 reported, and it went under contract within weeks. The sale recorded in July at $2.6 million, per The Real Deal. So this is a post about a home he sold. If a new one surfaces in public records, we will update it.
Inside the Davie home he sold
Homes.com described a five-bedroom house of 5,076 square feet with four and a half bathrooms. The features read like a football player's checklist: a private movie theater, a putting green, a heated pool and a covered summer kitchen. Behind it, the lot backs onto the lake, and bridle trails run nearby.
Listing photos published in April 2025 showed a two-story house with a tile roof, a long paver driveway and a screened pool deck facing the water. The theater had tiered seating. The putting green sat beside the pool. Those images came from the MLS listing and were carried by Homes.com, Local 10 and several Dolphins fan sites.
Financially, the move worked out well. He paid $1.7 million in 2020, at the start of the pandemic run-up, and sold for $2.6 million five years later. That is a gain of about $900,000 before costs, or roughly 53 percent. The final price came in $400,000 under the $3 million ask, which is a normal spread for a large home in a gated community where buyers are few and picky.
There was one dark note in the reporting. In December 2024 several cars on the property were broken into, Local 10 reported. The station raised the possibility that security played a role in the decision to move, though Tagovailoa did not say so himself.
Why Tua Tagovailoa chose Davie
The choice followed the team. In 2020 the Dolphins still trained in Davie, so a rookie who bought there was minutes from work. The town is quiet and horse-friendly, with a rural feel that suits a player from Hawaii who grew up far from a big city. Long Lake Ranches in particular has drawn athletes for its acre lots and staffed gate.
Why sell? Several outlets, including Miami Condo Investments, tied the sale to uncertainty over his future with the team after an injury-marked 2024 season. But he signed a four-year contract extension in 2024 that runs through 2028, and The Real Deal reported he intends to stay in South Florida. A more likely read is a simple upgrade. A quarterback on a nine-figure contract can afford a bigger house closer to the new facility. The sale freed up capital for one.
Where does Tua Tagovailoa live after selling in Davie?
No one has reported it. The Real Deal wrote in July 2025 that there was no word on whether he had bought another home in the region. We searched property coverage through September 2026 and found no purchase in his name or through an obvious entity. He may be renting, which leaves no public deed. Or he may have bought through a trust that has not been tied to him yet. Both are common for NFL players, who move on short notice.
Outside Florida, his roots are in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, where he grew up, and in Alabama, where he played college football. No home in either place has been reported. His family still lives in Hawaii, and he visits in the off-season, but that is a family home rather than his own. So the honest answer is that his current address is private and unreported, and his last known home was in Davie.
What homes near Tua Tagovailoa's old home cost
Davie is a large town with a wide range. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 shows about 610 active listings in Davie, with a median list price near $370,000 and an average of 98 days on market.
