Most houses around these parts are made of wood, not concrete.
US defaultism
A lot of the rest of the world build with brick and mortar.
In Denmark it's usually bricks (very common and traditional) or other stone like materials or concrete. Never understood why there is this difference across the world in how houses are usually built, but wood seems a very... Temporary material for something like a house? I've lived in buildings from the 1910s, I can't imagine anything made of wood lasting that long.
If they're taken care of properly they can last centuries
My house is wood and was built in 1923.
Houses are made of wood in the US because we didn't chop down our forests in the 1500s. European houses generally fall into the category of 1000+ year old stone or modern brick
