Wood is in abundant supply in North America, easy to work with and much cheaper than brick and concrete. Repairs are simpler and cheaper also. Moisture absorption with brick and concrete can also cause problems, this is typically not a problem with wood since it naturally swells and contracts with ease. It also comes down to the simple time factor, a brick and concrete house can take months to build whereas a wood house can be erected in a month or less.

Wood construction allows for insulation to be added into the walls and roof of the homes, concrete and brick usually do not accommodate insulation, although that is changing somewhat these days, Styrofoam bricks for foundations and such.

Because Brick and concrete are too expensive. Wood is cheaper and faster to build with. Bricks take more time to build with and heavier to transport.

Money. and the times. Land is so expensive that it sometimes is worth more than the home so as times and conditions change the house can be demolished or remodeled to suit the owner. Most of our society is so transient ,they seldom stay in one abode for very long.
