No, it actually adds value especially if your bricks are outdated but it has to be done properly. It is not recommended to paint straight over bricks as that would look horrible and definitely would devalue your home. You must apply a concrete render over the bricks first then paint them.

How do you get oil-based paint off of brick?
I think I've tried every method that I can think of or read about on other sites but I finally came up with a cure which is not 100% but a good 95 plus. I went to Lowe's and purchased a steel brush that attaches to a 1/2 electric drill. The name of the product is Gator Grit, Paint and Rust Remover, cost around then bucks. Just attach the wire wheel to your drill and it will scuff the paint right off. It does leave a little discolored look but a far better look that paint all over your brick home if that's what the problem is. I haven't tried it yet but if all the brick were pressure washed using a good cleaner I think it will help the color blend and look even better. Hope that helped. I just purchased a brick home and I think a blind person must have applied the paint and it looked terrible but now it does look a heck of a lot better.
