Because of the water line.the north is high above sea level than the south While in a minority of cases the reason is because of the relatively high water table, in most cases it is simply a matter of cost. In the north, building codes require the foundation to be far below the frost line (i.e., the depth at which the ground freezes in winter). This is typically at least 2 meters. At that depth, you might as well finish up with a basement (adding an addition meter of dig) , which also adds value to the home. In the south, without a frost line to worry about, the standard is typically less that 0.6 meter. Therefore, installing a basement would add to the cost for the builder, which most in the south consider to be unnecessary. Thus, basements are possible in most of the South, but for cost's sake, it's not done. In the Pacific Northwest, basements are not common either, but there the reason is the presence of hard bedrock, which would literally require blasting to excavate (and raise the cost significantly).
