It wouldn't bother me to buy it and live in it. I'm a little surprised to hear that there was so much hoopla around the breaking bad locations.... Interesting. I would think that'd it'd eventually subside, right?

I wouldn't be bothered by a famous house used in fiction. I WOULD be bothered by a home that was associated with real and horrific events. A couple of miles from where I live, a family of four was killed in a home invasion in 1989. It was a gorgeous home. Nobody who knows the story wants to buy it.

I wouldn't want to live in a house where somebody was murdered or died. That would bother me.

A TV or a movie house would be okay with me.

I wouldn't have a problem buying a "fictional" house ( except for a possible inflated price). Visit ABQ frequently and our entire family loved Breaking Bad. We did our own tour of many of the sites the day of the finale. And you are right it was great for your economy. I wouldn't count on it ended soon as the prequel Better Call Saul is a hit.

I love the Pinkman house - always have - just beautiful, despite Jesse trashing it.

I loved Breaking Bad. Excellent show

I would buy the Breaking Bad house or The Brady's, The Tanner's, Frazier's Condo, etc, but I wouldn't be so quick to buy The Amityville House, or The Exorcist House, etc. I'd be skeerd of those.

If it's a great deal in a desirable location, sure!

I wouldn't want the breaking bad house because people come by and throw pizzas on the roof. I think people from the show have even tried to say something to fans to stop doing that because someone lives there. It is the walter white house.

I never saw the show, and have no interest in it's subject matter. Given the fact that crazy tourists are showing up though I'd pass just because I wouldn't want to deal with them.

I would not purchase a home where someone was murdered or committed suicide in it, but a famous home with good bones and hsitory-sure!!!!!

Absolutely, but I'm not super wealthy, which you usually need to be to buy a famous house - unless it's a murder house.

If I had pools of money, I'd buy Bob Hope's old house:

Or Lloyd Wright's Sowden House:

Or John Lautner's Chemosphere house, which has been inn a few movies:

Or ANY Lautner house, really.

Or Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house: http://www.fallingwater.org/

Or any Frank Lloyd Wright house.

Clearly, someone would have to have a pretty "thick skin" to live in a notorious/infamous house. I know I much prefer my privacy. Although the Pinkman house is gorgeous!

I miss Breaking Bad. Sorry, @surfk
