OP, before selling the house, pressure wash and then just stain the fence with a cheap spray gun.

I second fishfighter's suggestion, did just as he said, pressure wash the fence to knock the gray off, let it dry over a few days, looks like brand new wood, then seal it with oil based product like BEHR in transparent or semi-transparent, DO NOT use Thompson Water Seal, my fence turned out great and lasted more than 10 years, i'm about to wash and reseal it, you can apply the sealer with a cheap sprayer as fish suggested or a thick nap roller, I did over 200' of 6' fence for less than $200

I would just wash it if that's all it took but I have boards rotting from the bottom up in many places. And in other places it's so old it's just falling apart.
