I agree. In this market there is no real incentive for a buyer to take on the burden of having a repair made even if given a reduction in price unless they really love the home. It's an inconveniences and may cause the buyer to scrutinize everything. You will sell your house faster if you fix everything before an inspector finds it.
When an inspector finds something seriously wrong the buyer has the option of backing out of the deal. Don't give the buyer more on an upper hand than he already has.
