Canadian snowbirds are divided on whether they want to stay or rethink their decision to own property in Florida .

Julie Riddell and her husband bought their Fort Myers , Fla. , vacation property in 2009 .

The cost of insurance premiums have drastically gone up over the years , almost quadrupling since they first bought the property.

Martin Kinal , a Mississauga , Ontario , resident, sold his Venice , Florida , vacation home earlier this year .

Ferris and his wife spend two to three months a year at their vacation condo, which they bought in 2021 .

For the rest of the year , they rent it out, but the latest storms could impact that.

Ferris said renting out the condo helps keep up with condo fees, ongoing maintenance and insurance.
