🏡 Concrete Block vs. Wood Frame Homes in Florida – What’s the Difference? 🌴

If you're house hunting in Florida, you've probably seen listings mention concrete block or wood frame construction — but what does that really mean for YOU as a buyer?

Here’s a quick breakdown:

✅ Concrete Block (CBS):

  • Stronger in hurricanes

  • More resistant to moisture and termites

  • Lower insurance in many areas

  • Longer-lasting with less maintenance

🔨 Wood Frame:

  • Often more affordable to build

  • Great for custom or detailed designs

  • Can be easier to insulate (but needs more maintenance)

  • May be more vulnerable to pests and weather if not maintained

💡 Pro tip: In Florida’s heat and hurricane zones, many buyers prefer CBS for peace of mind and lower long-term costs—but a well-maintained wood frame home can still be a great option too!
