Hope you're enjoying the city, it's got a lot of fun stuff people don't realize is there.

I hope you enjoyed your time in my home country (although I am now based in Japan).Obviously you will find the prices in Atlanta much more reasonable than Australia, even accounting for recent gains in Atlanta attributed to large funds buying up inventory.If you are selling a place in Perth when you move back maybe you have timed the top of the market!

I've already retired from the USN and I want to enjoy life just a little more.

In my mind, going overboard in decorating ONLY makes sense if you don't intend to sell (as is the case you have described)....so you get to enjoy the fruits of your labors (and money spent).

I'm enjoying dissecting it all and hopefully I'll figure out what I have to pay to make it a deal!
