if it burns down, damaged by a storm, or is vandalized, do you want to get paid?

Is the home currently subject to a mortgage? If so, one of the contractual conditions in the mortgage, at a minimum, is a fire insurance policy to protect the lender's interest.

And as mbyork points out, a property can be lost due to other risks as well. The buyer will not be forced to accept a home in any condition other than what it was in at the time a purchase agreement was executed. You'll lose the sale as well as the home.
