That sounds great, but it's not an option. Strictly speaking, the home owners weren't foreclosing on a mortgage, but executing on a judgment. When a judgment debtor doesn't pay a judgment, then (and as a rule, only then) the judgment creditor can send law enforcement people out there to, literally, execute the judgment, by starting to haul stuff away. Then when the judgment debtor comes up with the money, the execution stops.
