The auction for Dan Snyder's former Potomac mansion has begun. 

On Monday, Concierge Auctions announced that the bidding had opened at $11 million for the 30,000 square foot home along the Potomac River. The auction will conclude on December 18.

It has been a long road for the former Snyder estate. The home was first listed for sale privately in 2018 for $49 million. It then came on the market, publicly for the same price in 2023; a year later, the price dropped to $34.9 million.

In 2024, the former Washington Commanders owner donated the property to the American Cancer Society, and a few months later, the organization put it back on the market. About a month ago, news came that the home would be auctioned off. 

The estate, built in 2004, sits on 16 acres, and includes a main five-bedroom house as well as a two-bedroom guesthouse, a 12-car garage, and a pool. Fittingly, there is also a burgundy and gold basketball court.
