Is a house without a bathtub hard to sell?

You will never sell that house without a tub.
Tubs are not that big of a deal. It'll be fine to put in a shower.

Does converting a bath tub to a shower affect the sale of a home.
Comments (10)Talk to the realtor. A nice large walk-in shower with rain shower head, a hand held on a rail, and body sprays can sell a home faster than one with a bland shower tub combo, or a large soaking tub. A smaller segment of buyers want both in the master. If you're going to stay in the home 10+ years, go ahead, the bath with be dated by the time you're ready to sell, and potential buyers will want to tear it out and put in what they want. If you're going to sell soon, why bother?...See MoreLooking for a bath tub WITHOUT slip resistant coating
Comments (8)Thanks nnigrt - you made me laugh! I'm currently in a home built in 1979 and have this tub and am doing just fine... I would not have expected this to be such a challenging design question! I am pretty confident that this one is porcelain on steel, based on the price level of this house. Sooz001, thanks for reminding me that the longer tubs likely come in the shorter version. I'll work with the supply showroom. I was hoping to stay away from cast iron, but now expect that we will probably end up with that material. Thanks again for the inputs!...See MoreMaster bathroom: tub or no tub?
Comments (1)You need a tub for resale. You can get rid of the outdated jacuzzi, add in a less bulky tub in its place, and instead of a huge shower, you may be able to extend it a foot or two....See MoreJetted Tub or Soaker Tub?
Comments (3)Neither for me. The large jetted tubs take too much water to fill and I know several people who have replaced them with regular sized tubs. Soaker tubs can be awkward getting in and out, especially as one ages, and there is not space for toiletries without adding a stool or table outside the tub. I still prefer regular built in tubs....See MoreAlexandra Sasha Pasternak
