And what you received in exchange for that was a lifetime of not being homeless, having no maintenance or (immediate or direct) tax responsibilities, and the freedom to leave without having to sell an expensive, illiquid asset.

If you bought your home 5 or 6 years ago, then your mortgage is most likely lower than the market rent for it. I have friends in this exact situation. New job and moving in 30 days. Off to a property management company where somebody else will pay the mortgage for you.
