The price for concrete housing is much more than a stick frame house. They do have concrete homes. They are called ICF homes (insulated concrete form) homes
They are a monolithic concrete envelop. The benefits: there will never be any bug infestations (ie termites), the reduce the amount of A/C or heat needed to cool& heat the house, they can reduce outside noise by 80%, & they withstand hurricane winds.
The cons of an ICF house? The initial price. It is higher to construct. The benefits far outweigh the cost in my opinion.

We use concrete because it is the most used material in the world besides water. Why? Bc it IS the BEST building material ever invented.
There isn’t a better building material than concrete.
