Walter White home sells for $1.3 million to streamer Adin Ross

One of Albuquerque’s most well-known homes is officially off the market.

The “Breaking Bad” house — which belonged to fictional main character Walter White and made several appearances in the popular AMC series — has sold for $1.3 million, according to listing agent Alicia Feil.

The transaction closed Wednesday morning, just 22 days after the property was listed for $400,000 in early February. The listing, which fielded roughly 20 offers and ignited a bidding war, came to a close when the property went under contract on Feb. 9.

“I was genuinely surprised by the sheer intensity of global interest, especially given that the series ended more than a decade ago,” Feil said.

The four-bedroom, 1,920-square-foot home, located at 3828 Piermont NE, sold for $900,000 more than the price it listed at and nearly $1 million more than Zillow’s valuation of the property.

The sale comes a little more than a year after another Realtor team listed the home for nearly $4 million. It was taken off the market in December after receiving little serious interest.

Feil decided to relist at a more reasonable price, hoping it would widen the pool of potential buyers and fuel greater activity.

Feil said the sale is “a true testament to the quality of the show and the enduring, almost timeless, devotion of its fans.”

“Breaking Bad” fan and American internet personality Adin Ross made waves online around the time the property went under contract, claiming on social media that he had won the bidding war.

While Feil could not confirm if Ross is the buyer, she previously told the Journal that the buyer “did say a bunch of things online.”

Ross could not be reached for comment, but during a live stream on the Kick platform on Tuesday night, Ross said the sale went through and that he signed paperwork making him the official owner of the home.

“We got that done, and I’m very happy about that,” Ross said, adding he was in the process of connecting with a builder who could redesign the home into a “one-to-one” replica of how the home appeared in the series.

“I’m very excited to dissect this house and get there and do all that fun stuff,” Ross added as he showed off his new computer screen background, which was an image showing the exterior of the Albuquerque home with character Walter White — played by actor Bryan Cranston — out front.

Eric Padilla, who served as the home’s estate executive, said the sale is “a relief” for himself and his family, who lived in the home for more than 50 years. The family is ready to move on and let someone else enjoy the property, he said.

“It worked out to our benefit and we’re good,” Padilla said.

For Feil, the most rewarding part was what the sale meant to the family.

“When they first agreed to have their house featured, they could never have anticipated how massive the show would become or the pivotal role the home would play in its legacy,” Feil said. “For years, they endured nonstop attention — at times even harassment — from fans. They deserved far more than what was originally negotiated, and seeing them ultimately reap meaningful rewards was incredibly gratifying.”
