sa国际传媒官网网页入口鈥檚 鈥楤reaking Bad鈥 house is back on the market 鈥 this time for $400,000
The property previously hit the market more than a year ago for $4 million
An sa国际传媒官网网页入口 home widely known as the 鈥淏reaking Bad鈥 house is on the market with a lower asking price a little more than a year after it was listed for $4 million.
The listing for the famous property at was removed in early December, according to Zillow. Now, it鈥檚 available for $400,000, according to Alicia Feil, a local associate broker who took the property over in early January and relisted it Tuesday.
鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty exciting,鈥 Feil said. 鈥淚 think that there鈥檒l be a lot of interest.鈥
In the hit AMC series, which ran for five seasons between 2008 and 2013, the home belonged to fictional main character and teacher-turned-drug lord Walter White 鈥 making the property a piece of cinematic history and 鈥渟omething that will transcend the test of time,鈥 Feil said.
But for the home鈥檚 real-life owners, who lived in the house for more than 50 years, the property was just a normal suburban family home with a pool.
鈥淕osh, we used to go hog wild, I tell you,鈥 said Eric Padilla, who grew up in the home with his parents and two siblings and now serves as the home鈥檚 estate executive.
鈥淵ou talk about your teenage years and you have a pool 鈥 you just had a lot of friends over and had a lot of good times,鈥 Padilla said. 鈥淢y parents used to love to entertain, and we had a bunch of close-knit friends of theirs and their kids 鈥 it was just fun.鈥
Since 鈥淏reaking Bad,鈥 the home鈥檚 notoriety has attracted fans from across the world. But some of the attention wasn鈥檛 exactly wanted. Some fans threw pizza at the home to reenact a scene from the show, prompting the owners to build a fence around the property.
The owners eventually listed the property for sale in January 2025. Though not exactly fans of the show, Padilla said the decision to sell was more the result of a 鈥渘ormal course of events.鈥 Both his parents died over the last 10 years, and he and his siblings 鈥 now grown 鈥 are ready to move on with their own lives.
鈥淚t鈥檚 time,鈥 Padilla said.
Feil, who works for Keller Williams Realty, was among the group of agents the 3828 Piermont NE owners had discussions with before listing last year. At the time, Feil felt the home should be listed at a reasonable price and marketed for residential uses rather than as a museum.
鈥淚t鈥檚 a residential neighborhood; you can鈥檛 just plop a large commercial business into a residential neighborhood,鈥 Feil said. 鈥淚 was pretty confident they wouldn鈥檛 get $4 million, but I hoped that they would.鈥
Feil, who touts more than 20 years of real estate experience in sa国际传媒官网网页入口, isn鈥檛 new to the world of 鈥淏reaking Bad鈥 real estate. She also handled the sale of 322 16th SW, which appeared in the show as the home of fictional character Jesse Pinkman, roughly 10 years ago.
The Walter White listing was ultimately given to the Christensen Group of eXp Realty. But after more than a year on the market and a lack of serious interest, the family decided to switch gears and go with Feil鈥檚 more conservative approach.
鈥淲e just want to get it sold,鈥 Padilla said.
Feil said she doesn鈥檛 fault the family or the Realtors for the lofty experiment.
鈥淚 guess you got to try,鈥 she said. 鈥淏ut now it鈥檚 time for the next family or owner to move in.鈥
Now priced at a fair market value, Feil thinks the home will receive significantly more serious interest. The current price tag isn鈥檛 too far off from Zillow鈥檚 $310,800 for the property, which comes with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and spans 1,920 square feet.
Feil said she can easily see someone purchasing it to turn it into a successful 鈥淏reaking Bad鈥 rental property, saying she lives near the Jesse Pinkman property and still sees tour buses drive by it frequently.
鈥淚t鈥檚 just remarkable the amount of consistent interest in it. I think it would be so neat to really bring (the show) into the house and offer a great New Mexico experience,鈥 Feil said. 鈥淚鈥檓 so excited about that as an opportunity for somebody; it makes me want to do it.鈥
Feil can also see the property serving as a family鈥檚 private residence as well.
More than anything, Padilla said he hopes the home and the surrounding neighborhood offer someone the same stability his family found there for decades.
鈥淢y father was retired military. We鈥檙e service brats and we moved all over,鈥 Padilla said. 鈥淪o it was stability, and we just hope to pass it on to the next family who can benefit from all that.鈥
