WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Maybe you haven’t noticed, but it’s a great time to buy all the things you need to fill up your house: Furniture, appliances, electronics, dishes and pots and pans.

People tend to pay attention to the prices of things they buy all the time, like gasoline, milk and meat. But who can remember what it cost them the last time they bought a washing machine?

Prices of washing machines have fallen 8.6% in the past year. Bloomberg

Fortunately, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does keep track. The BLS reported Tuesday that prices of consumer durable goods have fallen 1.5% in the past year, the steepest decline since the depths of the recession in 2009.

This isn’t a new trend: The prices of durable goods have been falling pretty steadily since peaking in 1997, and now they are as cheap as they were in 1988, after adjusting for the constant improvements manufacturers have been making to their products.

What’s striking is how pervasive the price declines are. It’s not just a few items that are pulling down the average; prices are falling for almost every sort of durable good that consumers buy.

Here are the latest numbers from the BLS:

• Prices of major appliances are down 7.9% in the past year, the largest decline on record. Laundry-equipment prices are down 8.6%.

• Furniture and bedding prices are down 2.5% in the past year.

• Window coverings, rugs and other linens are down 2.1%.

• Clocks and lamps are down 6.9%.

• TVs are down 15%. Audio-equipment prices are down 2.4%.

• Telephone-equipment prices are down 7.7%.

• Camera prices are down 6.7%.

• Dishes and flatware are down 6.3%. Cookware prices are down 4.7%.

• Computers are down 6.3%.

• Tools and other hardware prices are down 1.5%.

• Toys are down 6.5%. Sporting goods are down 1.3%.

• Jewelry prices are down 4.5%.

• Medical equipment prices are down 1.1%.

• New car prices are down 0.4%. Auto parts are down 1.2%.

Just about the only thing that’s seen prices rise in the past year is new trucks, which are up 0.6%.
