If you're looking for a serious answer it's because it was and still is abundant as well as was easy for the first Europeans to come here to build with.

Bricks houses are also pretty common. My house is brick.

You can built a home out of expensive and cold as fuck stone, or you can build one out of cheaper wood and drywall. When you need to build homes to accommodate several hundred million people very quickly, you don't drag your ass laying brick and stone. You do something that makes a bit more financial and economic sense.
