The iconic house from Breaking Bad is now up for sale for huge sum as homeowners say 'we're done'

They've been driven bonkers by all the Breaking Bad fans who keep showing up

If you want to buy your own piece of one of the greatest TV shows of all time, then you could become the new owner of Walter White's house from Breaking Bad.

The Albuquerque house, which was used in filming for the show, has been put on the market and any potential buyers had better beware that it attracts a lot of attention from fans of the show.

Throughout Breaking Bad, the house goes through quite a lot, including being showered with debris from two planes crashing into each other (technically Walt's fault), someone being sick in the pool (Walt's fault), a pizza being thrown on the roof (Walt did that) and the insides of the place being doused in petrol (because of Walt).

Of course, the actual interior shots were done on a set, but there were plenty of scenes filmed outside the property, including the aforementioned scene with the pizza on the roof.

Impressively, Bryan Cranston managed to do that on the first go, but unfortunately for the home's actual occupants a bunch of people decided they wanted to try and do it themselves.

According to AP, the homeowners were first approached about having their home used in filming back in 2006, and Joanne Quintana remembered how her mother would offer cookies to the crew while they worked - though Cranston couldn't have any until the end of filming as he had to keep his weight down.

However, with both of her parents having now died, Quintana has made the decision to sell the family home and move on and the Breaking Bad fans are part of the reason why.

The house gets a lot of visitors from fans of the show who tried throwing pizza onto the roof or getting into the pool around the back of the house to the point that a fence had to be erected to keep the more bothersome among them out.

"This was our family home from 1973, almost 52 years," Quintana told Albuquerque broadcaster KOB-TV of her reasons to move out.

"So we’re going to walk away with just our memories. It’s time to move on. We’re done. There’s no reason to fight anymore."

If you want that house it's going to be expensive as it has been put on the market for four million dollars, making it quite costly compared to other properties in the area.

Of course those houses aren't the Walter White house from Breaking Bad that regularly attracts tourists.

If you buy the house then you could probably make a decent bit of money off it since people would likely pay a lot to stay there, but you'd have to deal with all the people who keep showing up.

During the coronavirus pandemic, people ignored health guidelines to gather outside the house and ask if Bryan Cranston would come out and see them - but (obviously) since it's not his house he wasn't inside recovering from the virus.

The homeowners got paid a location fee for Breaking Bad to use the place but it didn't make the family fantastically wealthy, though maybe selling up will.
