I recently tore out my old walk-in shower due to water leaks and a musty smell. Now that I'm seeing the space down to the studs, I'm considering installing a freestanding tub instead. However, we plan to move next year, so I'm hesitant to invest a lot of time and money into something that might not appeal to future buyers. Should I rebuild the shower properly or opt for the tub?

It's essential to have at least one tub in a home, especially if there are kids in the picture. If there’s no tub, you could limit your market when trying to sell, so keep that in mind!
Since you're planning to sell, redoing the walk-in shower makes the most sense. Just focus on using quality materials and fixtures that improve the overall look of your master bath. You want to aim for a decent return on your investment.
Honestly, considering you're moving soon, redoing the shower might be your best bet. It’ll likely be more affordable and simpler than installing a tub, and you can still make it look good without going overboard on expenses.
