Chris Watts’ Infamous Murder House Hits the Market, but Who’s Going To Want It?

Abstract

The notorious Colorado home where Chris Watts strangled his pregnant wife to death before murdering their two young daughters has finally hit the market-nearly four years after the unthinkable crime. The family of Shanann Watts, Chris Watts' wife, put a $6 million lien against the home that any future owners could have been forced to assume. Chris transferred ownership of the home to Shanann's estate through a quitclaim deed dated March 25, according to property records. The nearly 4,200-square-foot home is being sold as is, according to the listing. The address of the home was also altered from Saratoga Trail to Frederick Dr. on the listing. "These are just tough sells. It's a gruesome crime, and it's not where a lot of people want to go home and relax with that kind of history." Compounding the problem, the home continues to attract a lot of attention. In September, neighbor Chuck Burr, who lives two doors down from the Watts home, told Realtor.com that multiple cars drive by each hour on weekends.
