More than a decade after Walter White (Bryan Cranston) declared he was “in the empire business,” the Albuquerque, New Mexico, home that helped define television’s most infamous antihero has officially changed hands.

The ranch-style residence featured as the White family home in Breaking Bad, creator Vince Gilligan’s Emmy-winning AMC drama, has sold for $1.3 million following a competitive bidding war, TMZ and The Albuquerque Journal reported. While the listing brokerage declined to confirm the buyer, multiple sources identify the new owner as internet streamer Adin Ross, who publicly discussed the purchase during a Kick livestream and has already shared plans to transform the property into an immersive tribute to the series.

When the home first hit the market in early 2025, it carried a nearly $4 million asking price intended to reflect its cultural significance and status as a piece of television history. After more than a year without a buyer, listing agent Alicia Feil of Keller Williams Realty relaunched the property earlier this month at $400,000—a strategic reset that reportedly drew roughly 20 offers within days and pushed the final sale price more than $900,000 of the ask.

The transaction reportedly closed just 22 days after the relisting, with the property going under contract on Feb. 9. Feil said the level of attention exceeded expectations. “I was genuinely surprised by the sheer intensity of global interest, especially given that the series ended more than a decade ago,” she told the newspaper, adding that renewed publicity sparked “a plethora of new interest” as offers quickly escalated.

Located in Albuquerque’s suburban Loma del Rey neighborhood, the single-story house spans roughly 1,910 square feet with four bedrooms, one bath, an attached two-car garage, and a backyard pool with a covered patio. Though interiors were filmed on a soundstage, the home’s exterior became one of television’s most recognizable settings during the series’ five-season run from 2008 to 2013.

Ross told viewers he had to outbid competing buyers but felt confident in the purchase. “It was a really good price, a really fair price,” he said during the livestream. He has since shared plans to recreate recognizable moments from the show at the property, including cash hidden in air vents, a pizza staged on the roof, and an RV parked nearby as a nod to Walter White and Jesse Pinkman’s (Aaron Paul) mobile lab.

Originally purchased in 1973 by Fran and Louis Padilla, the house remained in the same family for a long time before a location scout knocked on the door in 2006 while searching for a pilot filming location. Six months later, production began on what would become one of television’s most critically acclaimed dramas, transforming an otherwise ordinary suburban property into a global attraction.

Over the years, the Padilla family reported hundreds of daily drive-bys as fans traveled from around the world to photograph the house where Cranston’s mild-mannered chemistry teacher began his transformation into Heisenberg—attention that ultimately contributed to the decision to sell after more than five decades of ownership.
