Yes but your situation did not make the property worthless. The bank was able to sell it for something. You house was collateral for the loans.
It is true there are situations where losses occur for the lender but real estate tends not to go to nothing.

I did not mean that literally. I mean "nothing" in the sense that you could lose a house instantly (or at least very quickly) because of a sudden high debt.
