I think the price of appliances has fallen due to a near-collapse of the home building market, the result of higher interest rates.

Also, if you are paying nearly double for groceries, replacing appliances unless they break, replacing them just to have something new isn’t high on your list.

Not for everyday necessities, but bigger ticket items maybe.

Goes up 40%, then goes down 5% = cheaper than you think!

If you cars go up 30%, than sink back 5%, that is small consolation if your paycheck stayed the same.
I recently paid $3,700 for a 2004 Chevy Venture with 165,000 miles and nuisance issues. The same vehicle would have been $2,500 only a few years ago.

My favorite part of this: "The prices of durable goods, meaning long-lasting items such as used cars or appliances, have fallen year-over-year for each of the past five months"

Things that I buy frequently are much more expensive. Food. Pharmacy items. Unavoidable expenditures have gone up. Electricity. Water. Car repairs. Internet access. Medical insurance. Doctor visits.
If the article were honest it would mention those things.

Price of 5.7 x 28mm ammunition has gone down a lot, from $0.80 a round in January 2023 to $0.51 a round since April.
Fiocchi starting to manufacture 5.7 x 28mm rounds in the USA this year had a lot to do with it.
