How can you buy home owner's insurance without a house?

ask: "How can you buy home owner's insurance without a house?"

We are trying to buy our first home, and now before we even know if we will get financed, they want us to BUY home owner's insurance? How? Why? Wouldn't that be done once we buy the house? Especially if it's escrowed in to our monthly payments?
