I see so many movies, old and new, that I think I’m seeing an actual house, or a street, or some place. Then when I see the behind the scenes footage, it’s often not a real house, or street scene. It always just seems like such a huge waste of money. Could they not have found or used a real house or street or town?

For exterior shots it often is.
But for interior shots, it’s generally not really efficient to have a real house because you need room for all the crew that is filming the shot to make it work. That requires space and such to move.
It’s expensive, yes, but in return you get a set design to your specifications that you have control over. If you use a real house, you have to adjust to it and also worry about the general public. Not to mention that sets are quite often reused which saves on money.
