If you have a few spare million dollars lying around, you might just be able to buy yourself a piece of television history. That's right, Walter White's iconic home from the hit show Breaking Bad is officially on the market. The real-life owners of the property, located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have decided to put it up for sale as they've grown tired of the constant stream of fans visiting their home.
The four-bedroom, one-bathroom house has been listed for a staggering $4,000,000, and it's no surprise given its fame and notoriety. Joanne Quintana, the current owner, shared that the decision to sell was made after her family became overwhelmed with fans making a pilgrimage to the property. On average, 300 cars would stop by every day just to take pictures and see the house in person.
"This was our family home for almost 52 years, since 1973," Joanne explained to a local news outlet. "But now it's time to move on and create new memories. We're done. There's no reason to fight anymore." She hopes that whoever buys the property will use it to honor the show and its fans, whether that means turning it into a bed and breakfast or a museum.
The attention on the property has not been without its challenges, however. Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan previously had to scold fans for throwing pizzas onto the roof of the house, trying to recreate a viral moment from the show. In the scene, Walter angrily tosses an unsliced pizza on top of the house after being shut out by his family. Vince made it clear that this behavior was not only annoying but also damaging to the property.
But the Breaking Bad home isn't the only iconic property from the show to hit the market. In 2015, Jesse Pinkman's New Mexico home was also up for sale, priced at $1,000,000. This was the same house Jesse inherited from his Aunt, although it technically belonged to his estranged parents. Filming for the show took place both inside and outside of the house, but a set house was eventually built to prevent any damage to the real property.
Breaking Bad is widely considered one of the greatest television shows of all time, and for good reason. Running for five seasons between 2008 and 2013, the show followed the journey of Walter White as he turned to a life of crime after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Along the way, he enlists the help of his former student, Jesse Pinkman. The show was a critical and commercial success, earning numerous awards and accolades.
In 2019, fans were treated to a sequel of sorts in the form of the film El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie. The movie brought back many of the original cast members, including Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, to continue the story of Jesse Pinkman. This further cemented Breaking Bad's status as one of the best shows of all time. It even made it into the Guinness World Records as the Highest-Rated TV Series.
If you're a fan of the show or just looking for a unique piece of real estate, Walter White's home might just be the perfect purchase for you. And if you do end up buying it, just remember to be respectful of the property and its owners. Breaking Bad may have ended, but its legacy lives on.
