Yeah it is the length of a standard tub.

What about the width of the tub? Unless this Is an exceptionally small (narrow) walkin-in tub and/or your new house has exceptionally wide doorways that tub is not going to be easily removed from the house without cutting it into sections.

My wife has mobility issues and I had one put in last year - tub had to be put in the house by removing a 4 x 4 glass block window in the bathroom and replacing the window at a cost of $1K. Going down hallways and through doors wasn’t possible without structural renovation.

We bought a pretty nice tub, fairly good size, which was $4K, installation was $3K, window replacement $1K - total cost $8K.

I can tell you the jacuzzi tub it replaced, which was removed in one piece through the same window that was removed, had no value at all.
