‘Breaking Bad’ house for sale – here’s its asking price – National

The house made famous by the Breaking bad The TV series is up for sale, and the owners of the otherwise unassuming house in one of Albuquerque’s oldest neighborhoods are hoping the property’s role in the long-running series will help them fetch a pretty penny.

Centered on legendary meth chefs Walter White and Jesse Pinkman, the series ended more than a decade ago, but its legacy continues to draw stares at the house and other filming locations around town.

The governor of New Mexico also recently tapped the character of Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, to appear in a campaign against littering in New Mexico.

While Breaking bad certainly left its mark on New Mexico and this quiet block in Albuquerque, the listing is sure to return the interest. And it’s worth $4 million.

Fans frequent the house, sometimes with hundreds of cars passing by in a day, Joanne Quintana told Albuquerque television station KOB-TV.

Quintana said her parents bought the house in the 1970s and that she and her siblings grew up there. As his parents grew older and the popularity of the show rose, it became more difficult to protect him. The family was forced to put up a metal fence and install security cameras to keep the fans at bay.

Now that his parents are gone, it’s time to sell.

“This has been our family home since 1973, almost 52 years,” he told the station. “So let’s just walk with our memories. It’s time to move on. We’re done. There’s no reason to fight anymore.”

It was 2006 when a film scout first approached Quintana’s mother to shoot a pilot episode at home. Within a few months, the equipment was installed and filming began.

The family got to meet Cranston and the other stars and watch from behind the scenes as crew members worked their magic. Quintana’s mom always made sure to have cookies for the cast and crew.

The interior of the house was used for preparation, while the interior scenes were shot in a studio.

For the famous pizza scene, Quintana remembers pizza boxes on the sidewalk. Plenty of unsliced ​​cheese and pepperoni props were ready in case Cranston didn’t nail it first. He did – he landed the pizza on his face on the roof after his character’s wife slammed the door on his face.

The owners had a hard time preventing fans from trying their own pizza or trying to splash in the iconic backyard pool.

The housing market in New Mexico’s largest city is certainly not what it would have been when Walter White applied for a mortgage, and the price paid by Quintana’s parents five decades ago is unimaginable now. The median price in the Albuquerque area is close to $400,000, and interest rates are expected to rise by about six percent this year.

Some online real estate calculators put the estimated market value of the four-bedroom ranch-style home at just over $340,000. But with the star power of Breaking bad behind him, the global luxury real estate service that lists the house for Quintana and his family has a price just under $4 million.

David Christensen with eXp Luxury told The Associated Press on Friday that it’s been a busy day with the listing going live and that investors will be looking at the property. Ideas include turning the house into a vacation rental or a museum.

The listing company set up a website to showcase the property, billing it as a chance to own a piece of pop culture history.
