We have very few basements in my area... and they are typically daylight, walk-out basements. Newer construction is often more typically on slab, unless high end home. Sometimes it also depends on the topography... but we have a lot of both slab and crawl.

we have full basements and full concrete walls unless the home is built on an embankment.... or if there is a high water table, the home will be a split entry and pulled up out of the ground with a shorter concrete wall and a framed wall in the basement.... it's tough to sell a slab here and it's rare to find a crawl space.... that's a listing that no one wants in my area........

We do a lot of slab homes here, but if there is a steep lot you will see walk out basements which are pretty much the only kind we have.

In the Phoenix area, most homes are built on slabs. Every so often we find a builder that tries to build and sell basement homes, but the soil here is expansive and the cost to build down is greater than up so it just hasn't caught on.
Personally, having come from the midwest I like the idea of a basement. I also like have a wood floor as opposed to concrete. It is so much more comfortable to live on a floor made with wood joists. Concrete is hard on your legs and feet. Especially when you get old.

Site-built homes, concrete foundation. Manufactured homes, ground set or raised foundation. Basements are rarity, curiosity and tough sell here. We have way too much sand to make them intelligent choices.

Basement probably 80% of the time, then a variety of slabs and crawls. Many seniors are looking for fewer stairs and main level bedrooms these days. The basements, lofts, and upper level are for when grandkids or company visits, or potential rental apt for income to supplement social security.

Poured basement. And prefer the same. Depending on the community slab is common. And for older homes cinder block and the realllllly old ones, stacked stone.

We have all in the greater Seattle area. Crawlspace is probably most common with slabs being next most and walk out basements, which are on slab next. We have few fully underground basements due to high water tables.

Most are on a. raised foundation (that may be a local term). No Preference as to foundation type for me - there are other factors to consider.

Crawl is most common here, and our preference probably mostly because we are used to it. Although, we do like basements which are pretty uncommon. There are certain builders who do slab, and some neighborhoods because of high water tables call for it, but overall almost all are on crawl. -Kasey

Only the much older homes have basements. I estimate we are 50%/50% slab and crawl. Crawl is good to have when access to plumbing is necessary.

the most common here, depending on price point is: full basement (preferrred) partial basement with crawl (predominant in new builds under $300K) full slab and only crawl are less desired and more difficult to sell here.

The newer homes all have basements, the older ones (by that I mean sometimes 19th century or beyond, not just 20th) have slab foundations and crawl spaces. Not fun to look for racoons down there for inspectors and animal control people.

I think we are pretty equal with slab, crawlspace and basements. Mine is a crawl (which I don't really care for), my neighbor on one side is basement and the neighbor on the other side is slab... Water table comes into effect in some areas.

Full basement is pretty much the norm here. Some have walkouts which is nice, add a lot more light, and a large majority of them are finished basement for extra living space.

Slab. Crawl space is nice, when it's easy to access simply because it makes repairing the pipes easier (and cheaper) than rerouting them. Slabs I think are probably better for earthquakes though.

Depends on the area of the city you are in around there. One area it is rare to have a slab or crawl, why a poured concrete basement is a rarity in other areas. It is all about price points and soil stability of the area.

Crawl space w/ basement.
And, that's what I prefer. Like the extra storage area, houses tend to be warmer on main levels...and important for me...makes it easy to install hardwood. Homes with slabs seem to have lots of issues (as least here). Floors uneven and way more expensive to do hardwood floors.
