My thought is concrete-stucco home construction would be considerably cheaper on the AC bill ?
Is this correct ?

And you would be wrong
. I have 2 rentals, a Jasmine and a Wisteria. Exact same model but one is stucco and one is frame. The Wisteria has thicker wall space for insulation, and I would say the power bills over the last 7 years of owning both would say the Wisteria is more efficient by about 15% or so. Every month the bill is a bit lower than the Jasmine. I would not even say it is a consideration. The power bills here are pretty low, I would not even consider it when buying a home.
