Price reduction or credit at closing?

If minor issues are discovered under the home inspection/city inspection, what is better: a price reduction in the sales price or asking for a credit at closing?

Depends on what's important to you @Daniel Vieyra.  Getting a credit will reduce your cash outlay at settlement.  Reducing the price will lower your loan financing and lower your monthly payment - if you are financing.  This should give you a slightly better cash-flow.  Hope this helps.
