The Ultimate Guide to Scoring Breezehome in Whiterun for Free
As any seasoned Skyrim player knows, owning property in those icy northern lands doesn‘t come cheap. But what if I told you there‘s an exploit that can score you your own pad in Whiterun 100% free? Introducing: the Breezehome for free glitch.
An Introduction to Breezehome
Breezehome is a modest two-story house located smack dab in the center of Whiterun, situated next to Warmaiden‘s and the main gate. It‘s the smallest and cheapest purchasable home in Skyrim at just 5,000 gold.
But don‘t let its petite size fool you – Breezehome makes for a cozy and convenient starter home. You‘re just steps away from all of Whiterun‘s amenities and merchants, giving you easy access to unload gear, crafting stations, and all the mead your dragonborn can drink at the Bannered Mare.
Here‘s a quick overview of Breezehome‘s in-game stats:
| Attribute | Details |
|---|---|
| Cost | 5,000 gold |
| Location | Whiterun |
| Size | 2 floors, 5 total rooms |
| Furnishings | Main hall, alchemy lab, enchanting table, 6 weapon racks, 3 mannequins |
| Storage | Several chests, cupboards, end tables |
Now let‘s get into the fun part: how you can exploit a little-known loophole to get Breezehome completely free!
Step-By-Step Guide to the Breezehome For Free Glitch
Here‘s the method to score Breezehome without paying a single piece of gold:
Step 1: Initiate the Purchase Conversation
First, you need to talk to Brill (or sometimes Proventus Avenicci) to kick off buying the house. Important: when speaking to the steward, make sure you‘re standing right next to a container that holds items, like a chest or shelf.

Step 2: Store Your Gold
As soon as the purchase dialogue screen closes, open up your inventory and deposit ALL of your gold into that nearby container. You want 0 gold remaining in your possession.

Talk to Brill again to restart the transaction. Even with 0 gold, the game will still try to complete the sale. Choose the purchase Breezehome dialogue option again.
Step 4: Regain Your Gold
After the transaction goes through, reopen the container next to the steward and take your gold back!
And voila – Breezehome is now 100% yours without spending a single coin out of pocket!
[celebratory gif]Pro Tips
Here are some expert recommendations when trying to pull off the Breezehome glitch:
- Quick save first! That way if the exploit doesn‘t work, you can reload and try again seamlessly.
- Do NOT store any quest items in containers. They may disappear.
- Make sure Brill doesn‘t walk away mid-transaction or the glitch can fail.
- If Brill dies, Avenicci usually replaces him as steward.
And there you have it – your complete guide to scoring Breezehome in Whiterun for absolutely nothing! Never fork over your hard-earned septims for housing again.
Other Tricks for Getting Breezehome Cheaper
Of course, if exploiting an oversight in Whiterun‘s real estate market leaves you feeling a bit skeevy, there are some alternative tricks to knock down Breezehome‘s asking price:
Haggle the steward. With high enough speech, you can successfully haggle Brill‘s 5k ask down to 4k. Hey, every little bit counts!
Craft and sell potions. This takes more effort, but you can recoup the 5k cost by gathering ingredients and mass producing lucrative potions like Slow or Invisibility to sell off.
Loot dungeons. Raiding bandit hideouts and draugr crypts can yield valuable gems, enchanted gear, and ingots you can pawn for housing money.
Building Your Own Houses For Free
If buying Breezehome – either outright or through exploits – still doesn‘t appeal, I‘d highly advise looking into the Hearthfire DLC. With it installed, you can construct up to three 100% free custom homesteads from the ground up!

Now that‘s affordable living! Take the money you saved not buying Breezehome and splurge on amenities for your new manor.
Parting Words
Hopefully these exploits, tips, and tricks help you get settled into Breezehome or craft your own luxurious abode for zero gold. As any wise dragonborn knows, you want to be spending that precious coin on weapons and dragon-slaying gear, not grossly overpriced housing.
May the blessings of Julianos light your path to cheaper homes! Slàinte mhath!
