curb appeal
Home's exterior attractiveness
Curb appeal is the attractiveness of a property as seen from the street.
Real estate agents emphasize curb appeal because first impressions affect buyers before they step inside: Fresh paint and landscaping improved the home's curb appeal.
The term extends to anything whose outward appearance matters for initial impact.
