Are frame homes meant to sway?

I have a frame home & so many people think that CBS homes are better. My frame home has surrived many hurricanes since being buildt in 1993. My sister in law's house was CBS & once the ridge vent came off the roof, the rest of the house eventually consumed water during the hurricane. Three weeks later, another hurricane hit, and with no repairs to the roof, the house virtually went to hell. My home had little water damage & I only had plywood on the windows. I heard that frame homes are meant to sway - is this a true statement? Many homes are for sale in my development & the one person who came to look at it said they prefered a CBS home because of the hurricanes.
