How about 'falling prices'?

Now you're just trolling.

You are going to have to go after a lot of people and criminally prosecute them for illegally using the term "deflation" instead of the legal term "falling prices". http://www.google.com/search?q=deflation+prices+housing http://www.google.com/search?q=deflation+prices+housing There are over 2 million Google hits for housing-price deflation, alone.
- gravitycop 18y agoThere is a general temperature in my refrigerator. There are also more-specific temperatures in my refrigerator. Each of those specific temperature areas can also be described as general, because within-them are yet more temperatuire areas and of even-greater specificity. There is also a general temperature of my home. The general temperature of my fridge contributes to that. In turn, the general temperature of the top shelf of my fridge contributes to the general temperature of my fridge.
