Breaking Bad House Hits the Market: A Chance to Own a Slice of TV History for $4 Million

Credited from: SCMP

  • The iconic house from the television series "Breaking Bad" is officially up for sale in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
  • Listed at nearly $4 million, the owners hope its fame will attract buyers despite the local housing market being around $400,000.
  • Owner Joanne Quintana shared her family’s long history with the home, stating, "It’s time to move on," as fans often flocked to the property.
  • The house became a filming location for "Breaking Bad" in the mid-2000s, drawing large crowds and necessitating security measures.
  • Real estate agents suggest that buyers may consider converting the house into a holiday rental or museum.

The house made famous by the "Breaking Bad" TV series is now available for purchase, priced at $4 million. The unassuming residence located in one of Albuquerque's older neighborhoods has been a magnet for fans of the show ever since it first aired, drawing significant interest to the area.

Joanne Quintana, the owner, revealed that her family has lived in the home since the 1970s, but as the show's popularity surged, it became increasingly difficult to shield her parents from the crowds. “It’s time to move on. We’re done. There’s no reason to fight anymore,” she said during an interview with KOB-TV. The family had to install security measures just to maintain their privacy.

The legacy of "Breaking Bad," which concluded over a decade ago, is reflected in its cultural impact, noted recently by the Governor of New Mexico, who enlisted the iconic character Walter White for a litter prevention campaign. Meanwhile, the listing for the house is revitalizing interest, with potential buyers viewing it as an opportunity to own a piece of pop culture. Interest in the property is soaring, with fans and investors alike considering options like converting it into a vacation rental or a museum.

For context, the median price of a home in Albuquerque now approaches $400,000, while real estate calculators suggest this four-bedroom ranch-style home is worth about $340,000 without celebrity status. Nonetheless, the unique connection to "Breaking Bad" has set the asking price considerably higher, and listings with the luxury realty service eXp Luxury are drawing considerable attention.
