Most likely you lose your home if you can't pay for it due to being in jail, however having a home with a mortgage and a job that pays enough and a history of paying, will all generally work in a defendants favor in terms of getting out on bail. If the court can trust you enough to be on house arrest then that's usually better for everyone.
