World's most expensive real estate markets
Mumbai is the world's 16th most expensive city for residential space.
Owning a prime residential property in India's financial capital comes with a hefty price tag of around Rs 57,000 per sq ft, real estate consultancy Knight Frank said.
As per the Knight Frank's prime international residential index, the financial capital is also among the few global cities that saw realty prices going up in 2012.

Monaco (Rank 1)
Rate: $5350-5920/sq ft
The search for safe haven investments has continued to propel prices higher in key global cities; some of the markets worst hit by the global financial crisis appear at long last to be recovering; and the impact of growing global wealth flows has kept governments busy in their attempts to limit price growth and deflate nascent real-estate bubbles before they explode, states Knight Frank.
Around a third of the locations in the Prime International Residential Index (PIRI) showed positive price growth during 2012, but about half reported negative growth.
