If we called every period of falling housing prices a period of deflation we would have deflation with every down cycle of the real estate market -- this just reduces the concept to something trivial and meaningless. We have a cyclical economy -- we don't call the upcycles inflation and the down cycles deflation. If a period of deflation every comes to the US -- something that is highly unlikely -- it will be a truly momentus change in our economy. But the regular ups and downs of business cycles are as common as gas stations on street corners.
