It makes sense if they were behind on their mortgage and would be forced to sell immediately or something

Normally most people would try to keep their home by looking for a new job. Not sure how it works in the US, but in my country it would also be fairly common to have mortgage insurance specifically in case you're laid off, fired, or suffer an injury that causes you to be out of commission for long. I suspect it's less common in the US if it's even a thing. Is it a thing?
