I had a block/stucco home in Minnesota that cracked but was easily patched and was not a big problem. If you find a home built with wood frame/stucco, it has to be 25 plus years old.
As stated above, it was built in 2006. Both MLS and county website indicate wood frame construction with stucco exterior.
