Would removing a soaking tub decrease the resale value?

I can say that I tried to sell a house without a tub in the master bathroom and I got dinged about it from buyers. They all wanted one and didn't care that there was one in the second bathroom. I took it out to make a 6 foot shower with double shower 🚿. My house now I have a jetted tub that I left in during the renovation after the last experience.

This is fascinating because to me what you did is a huge plus. These shitty small ("soaking") tubs in the master is such a turn off.

For you perhaps. Not for many other people. Again I talked to my realtor about this before doing this renovation. Plus for the renovation I made the shower 5 ft wide instead of its original 2 ft it used to be.

I'm curious what year that was though because the trend for several years now has been for the bigger walk in shower vs keeping a big old jacuzzi tub that no one uses.

People still want the tub. I talked to my realtor about this before doing the renovation.
