All of the answers are available either from the Realtor, homeowner, local records, or the MLS listing sheet. Any information on the MLS listing sheet should be verified as some have been found to be inaccurate. If it says CBS/FRAME on the listing sheet, the home is most likely constructed using a wood or metal framing method. Not, concrete block..
