Colorado house where Chris Watts murdered pregnant wife fails to find buyers as price reduced by $25K

FREDERICK, COLORADO: The Colorado house where Christopher Watts, a convicted murderer, killed his pregnant wife, has been put up on the market again at a reduced price.

The Frederick home with five bedrooms and four bathrooms was originally listed for $775,000; however, the listing price was later reduced by $25,000, making the final asking price at $750k on April 24.

What are the benefits of Chris Watts' home?

Some of its benefits include exterior paint and a new roof. Since the 2018 crime, the 4,200-square-foot home's facade has been updated, according to RadarOnline.

Situated in a picturesque area and spanning over 6000 square feet, the listing highlights its construction in 2013 and its gourmet kitchen, which includes "granite counters, center island, gas cooktop, double ovens and stainless steel appliances."

There's a large walk-in closet in the bedroom on the main floor, and a "convenient upstairs laundry room with closet and folding table." Surround sound is also prewired into the house.

According to information obtained by RadarOnline.com, the new owners kept the property for less than a year and a half before opting to sell it.

In addition to reports of attempted break-ins, neighbors previously told Realtor.com that guests would occasionally drive by on the weekends and stop to take pictures.

Where is Chris Watts currently?

Watts is currently serving multiple life sentences for the August 2018 murders of his pregnant wife Shannan and their three- and four-year-old daughters Bella and Celeste.

Watts said he told Shannan he wanted to separate before strangling her during a police interview conducted from behind bars. Then, while his daughters waited in the car, he drove his wife's body to his work site and buried her in a shallow grave before smothering both of his girls.

In the end, he was found guilty of three counts of tampering with a dead body, one count of unlawful pregnancy termination, and five counts of first-degree murder.

Many mourners arrived at Pinehurst, North Carolina's Sacred Heart Catholic Church after the killings to pay their respects to Shanann, her daughters, and her unborn son, Niko.

Selling homes with a troubling past can be "tough," according to real estate appraiser Randall Bell, according to a recent report.

"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," said Bell, highlighting that the notoriety can "go on for years."
