Such a sale is known as a short sale which falls \’short\’ of the actual value of the estate. On the other hand, a foreclosure involves a legal binding which denies the defaulter, the right to redeem the mortgaged estate. In a short sale, the proceeds generated on the sale of an estate are less than the actual value of the estate; and a foreclosure is simply the repossessing of an estate, if the owner is unable to make the abiding payments.
