Sanya, 38, told viewers: "My house is packed more than a New York City subway station.
"It's my mom and my dad, me and my husband, there's Deuce. My sister Shari, her husband Tyrell, and Slade and Shiloh. We just need a dog now!"
Sanya moved from Austin, Texas, to Atlanta, Georgia, in the fall of 2021.
She joined the cast of RHOA in Season 14, which premiered in May of last year.
According to real estate records obtained by The U.S. Sun, the Real Housewives star purchased her now-home for $885K in September 2021.
It's now estimated to be worth over $1million.
The six-bed, six-bath mansion is located in a quiet cul-de-sac in Kennesaw - minutes from the scenic Kennesaw Mountain - and has 7,800 square feet of space.
Built with a brick-and-stone exterior, the "exquisite custom built" home comes equipped with a three-car garage, long driveway and spacious backyard that includes a covered outdoor patio.
In addition to the six bedrooms, there is also Sanya's office, a living room, formal dining room, a "soaring great room with coffered ceiling," custom-built home theater, a gym, and a game room.

ALL IN THE DETAILS
The other features inside the athlete's home make it cozy enough for the eight others she lives with.
There is a wall of windows for natural light, multiple built-in fireplaces, large walk-in closets, and a "luxurious Mediterranean bathroom" with double showers and a jetted hot tub.
As seen in the RHOA Season 15 premiere, Sanya's kitchen features Viking appliances, white granite counters and cabinets, a U-shaped Island for cooking and entertaining.
While showing off her home in a video for Bravo TV, Sanya explained that her mom, Sharon, is more into interior decorating than she is.
Sanya said she doesn't have the patience to do it.
However, she mentioned that she designed the kitchen and added a touch of black paint to a small section of cabinets.
When designing her bedroom, she said, "When I started this room, my inspiration was I wanted to have a dark color on the wall because I feel like it just makes you feel very calming, kind of puts you to sleep."
Then she needed "something popping" so the designer added a gold design since she "loves gold."
On display in her bedroom is also her Olympic gold medal from the 2012 Olympic games and her husband Aaron Ross' Super Bowl rings.

FAMILY DRAMA
On the May 7 episode of RHOA, Sanya brought to light her family's issues of living in the same house under one roof.
The three little ones in the household include her son Deuce, five; and nephews Slade, six; and Shiloh, four.
Her brother-in-law Tyrell works as her assistant and her mom and sister either worked for her or are currently working for her.
The reality star's sister Shari addressed the elephant in the room while taping the kitchen scene.
"I think that you don't respect boundaries. You're trying to find him (Tyrell) something else for him to do instead of allowing him to just eat his dinner," she told her sister, whom she called a "dingbat."
Shari then gave another example of how she normally has dinner prepared for 6:30pm and Sanya will, all of a sudden, ask the kids if they want to go outside to play.
And, per Shari, Sanya will request at 11pm - if she had just gotten home - for her sister to cut off her wig before bed.
SIBLING RIVALRY
Shari spilled to cameras during a confessional: "It's really annoying because Sanya doesn't have a schedule. So I don't know if Sanya knows what the schedule is.
"When Sanya was running track, there was a time where that was the priority, so shifting to understand that that's not the priority - not even close anymore - is a bit of a struggle for them."
The Jamaica native shared her side of the story to cameras, explaining that she was the bread and butter.
"It's a really unique dynamic that I've always had in my family where I feel very supportive by them but I'm also supporting them.
"My mom was my manager - she's eating off of my contract, my dad also managed me, my sister did my hair.
"They were getting paid off of my work. The things that I do bring opportunities to everyone in my family. Not so much today but for many years," Sanya said during her confessional.
More of the Ross' family dynamic is expected to be shown in upcoming episodes of RHOA airing on Sundays on Bravo.
