Not a requirement but highly desired, especially if you are in a starter home (2 or 3 bedrooms) because many will start a family there and need a bathtub for their small child. Keith Jean-Pierre Managing Principal The Dapper Agents Operations In: NY, NJ, FL & CA

You don’t need to do every repair or staging item—focus on major issues and high-impact updates; skip unnecessary upgrades and prioritize what helps you sell faster or for more. A bathtub isn’t required; a shower is enough. In a one-bath home, removing the only tub may affect resale slightly, but a safe, modern walk-in shower is a smart alternative. Good luck!

No, a bathtub is not a requirement in a home. Many homes have a simple walk-in shower.
