Do we have to repaint if we want to sell?

If you were buying a house, would you expect all the rooms to be newly painted/decorated?

Just wondering what to do about our house, which we're hopefully selling soon. It's all painted in neutral colours already but has some hairline cracks and marks on the walls. Can't just do touch-ups in all cases as the paint on the walls no longer matches the paint in the pot Grin. It's all superficial work that would need done.

Wondering if we can avoid the stress and hassle of completely repainting and filling in cracks... Lazy, yes, but selling and buying is stressful enough. I wouldn't expect a home I bought to have pristine decor, but wondering what others think?

No, I'd rather it wasn't recently painted.

I'd prefer to see the condition of the walks more clearly & the chances of me wanting to paint/repaint anyway are extremely high.

Houses almost always look 'fresher' in photos.

Oh & kids 'art' wouldn't bother me
