The house that the grass is always cut and the landscaping is great. But if you were to go past the same house with it looking all messy you wouldn't even give it a second look.
When passing the land which you were going to look at, did you sit there or just drive right by because of what you saw outside?

Put out front a mat, a simple one that will welcome the potential new owners. Just a mat that says "Welcome" will work perfectly. Adding area rugs around your house can help to make it brighter.

Remember to make sure that these rugs are similar to the wall color and the furniture.
Placing a welcome mat in front of the door is a great way to make guests feel welcomed to your home.

Try purchasing a rug which will match the colors that already exist.
You will get to take these new buys with you after your house is sold. You will need to make sure that the contract includes that you can take the rugs with you. This way you will have an immediate start to the new decor in your new place. So take this into consideration when you are purchasing the rugs.
The great thing about area rugs and runners is when you move, pack them up with you. Just make sure when you close the house it's in the contract that everything which it was shown with isn't staying except whatever you list. Always remember an area rug will give you a cozy feeling no matter where you go.
