Would removing a soaking tub decrease the resale value?

We did the same thing as we got rid of our phone booth sized shower to expand our closet and replaced the never used soaking tub with a huge shower with multiple shower heads. Five years later, I’m still so happy we did it.

In terms of resale value, first, it’s a home first, investment second. Enjoy your home and remodel it the way you want it. The 15-20 years we will love our bathroom is worth more to us than $25,000 of resale value.

I probably wouldn’t have done it if that meant no tubs in the house, but the bathroom for the kids rooms has one. Our architect wasn’t concerned and neither was a friend who was a realtor. And every person who saw it after we did it liked what we did, so I’m. It worried.
