I would think that grass would have better sales value that some other
ground cover. Ask some local realtors for their opinion. If I were
buying and saw something other than grass I'd wonder about upkeep or
the cost of removing it and replacing it with something else.

You might try overseeding it with some grass mix selected to do well
in your area, water it well and mow often.
