My wife and I are looking for our first house together or starter home. All advice will be appreciated. Just don't know how stucco can handle the American South humidity

All brick or all brick with a Stucco front.

If you get a house with stucco, make sure it isn't that fake arse stucco with styrofoam behind it.

We have all brick and chose hardy board instead of stucco for the front. a few houses around my parents already have cracks in it, but they also got the cheap one with the styofoam.
hardyboard ftw

Brick >>>>>>>>>>> Stucco

Stucco is shite and will fail at some point or another.

I have brick covered with stucco over half. No problems and looks great.
