Renowned property consultants, Jones Lang LaSalle, have said that the property prices in Delhi and Mumbai have reached to the level of 2008 and cautioned of a decline in demand if prices rise further. It also said that prices in other Indian cities will keep rising and they might touch the 2008 level in the mid 2011. According to the JLL chairman Mr. Anuj Puri, Delhi and Mumbai real estate sectors were most adversely affected during the economic meltdown and hence the rapid increment in the backdrop of contemporary healthy economy.
