You definitely need a tub in one of the bathrooms. People won’t buy a house without a tub. My kids are grown but I still want to soak in a tub sometimes — or wash the dog in it.

Sounds lovely and with the chronic water shortage I think you will attract a 'thinking' buyer! Not much point having a bath if there is not enough water to use it often enough!!

If it is the only bathroom in the house, I definitely think a tubless bathroom will keep some people from buying your
home.

In the real estate sales info, it will be considered a 3/4 bath because there is no tub. That doesn’t sound good.

It depends on the price range of your home. Upscale buyers will expect a master suite with a tub. This can have an impact on the ability to sell although with this market not much is selling anyway....

Most buyers want a tub in a bathroom, somewhere in the house. If you have two bathrooms, you will be fine having one without a tub. This is especially true if the buyers have children.
