Fla. moving past realty bottom?

Florida's home and condo markets may finally be past a firm market bottom, price data from the fourth quarter of 2011 published by Florida Realtors suggest.

According to the data, the median price for condo sales in the fourth quarter of 2011 was up 5% over the year, from $84,400 to $88,800. The median home sale price fell, but only slightly -- down 1%, from $133,400 to $132,000.

Despite steadying prices, statewide sales volumes were up. Both condo and home sales increased 4%, with 18,558 condos and 42,038 homes sold over the course of the quarter.
