The Breaking Bad home in New Mexico is going up for sale, and fans are, to say the least, baffled by the price tag. In the show, Walter White, a chemistry teacher, owned the modest home, though USA Today reports that this northeast Albuquerque property will be listed for a staggering $4 million.
Notably, local news channel KOB-4 claims the house is only worth about $350,000. Nonetheless, the news has drawn varied reactions, with some making pointed remarks and subtle references to Breaking Bad. Here's what one user jokingly asked:
"does it come with the pizza on the roof?"
Even more decided to join in on the discussion:
"i would buy it then charge breaking bad fans to tour it, i would make a fortune," someone stated.
"AirBnB that bad boy. Easy 300 a night probably be booked every other day," another budding entrepreneur echoed.
"Bryan Cranston should buy it," one user suggested.
"This was the house of a high school chemistry teacher, and now you’d have to be a millionaire to own it," another remarked.
The comments didn't end there, though, as the chatter was growing louder in the comments section:
"4 MILLION FOR THAT??" one user exclaimed.
"we all know where they will be hiding their money," someone else jokingly stated.
"There should be a permament pizza on the garage roof... Epic!" a third person suggested.
"That would be so surreal living there, but also you’d hate having people take pics of your house every day. if there weren’t tourists they could easily sell that house for 10m and someone would buy it," another claimed.
Users were visibly divided over the house's accompanying price tag, as while some claim it's too much, others were of the opinion that it could be higher given the success of Breaking Bad.
All we know about the Breaking Bad home being put up for sale: why, who lived there, and what it was like for them
As reported by USA Today, at the time of filming the Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul show, the house was owned by Fran and Louis Padilla.
They acquired the property in 1973, and today, over a decade after Breaking Bad ended in 2013, fans flock to the site from all corners of the world to behold it. However, reportedly, no one is allowed to enter inside.
The suburban ranch-style home boasts four bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over 1,910 sq. ft., People Magazine has reported. David Christensen and Sonya Avila of Christensen Group | eXp Realty Luxury and Ryan Johnston of InterPhase Entertainment are the realtors of this listing.
Per USA Today, Fran and Louis raised their kids in this home, and just recently, Joan Quintana, their daughter who grew up there, allowed KOB-4 in to take some photos. She revealed that over the years, Breaking Bad fans would knock on their doors and ask for photos, prompting them to put up a fence.
“The fans started coming. We would go out there, my mother and I, and we would take pictures with them,” Quintana shared.
She revealed that back in 2006, someone rapped at the door to propose a business deal.
“My mother never ever answers the door, and she did, “ she told the outlet. “They introduced themselves and handed her a card and said, ‘We would like to use your house for a pilot.'"
She revealed that when the family agreed, filming began two weeks later.
“We were, like anybody, it’s a once in a lifetime thing. You got to meet the actors, the actresses, you got to see how they set up the equipment and what it all takes,” said Quintana.
Speaking about how the family would put out cookies for the cast and crew to enjoy, with Cranston being the only one to deny, she said:
"What was funny was Bryan Cranston could not eat one cookie. Because he had cancer in the show, so he was losing weight. So he would pass, but everybody, all the directors, all the writers, would eat the cookies.” He finally indulged on the last day of filming, she says, and even took a picture "holding my mom’s biscotti."
The Padillas eventually passed away, and the children decided it was the right time to sell. However, the exact reason remains unknown.
“This was our family home from 1973, almost 52 years. So we’re going to walk away with just our memories," Quintana told the outlet. “It’s time to move on. We’re done. There’s no reason to fight anymore.”
