Generally speaking, yes.
It gets a little complicated in certain cases, because certain debts have a higher priority than others, but all debts, including the HELOC, must be paid off before the seller receives any money at all from the sale, and except in the case of a bankruptcy, the lenders are entitled to attempt to recover their losses if the house sells for less than the total amount of secured debt.

What is the meaning of the term HELOC loan?
The term, HELOC loan, refers to a Home Equity Line Of Credit. This type of loan is when a homeowner uses their home as collateral for credit. The ending balance of a HELOC loan always must be paid back in full.
If a company lends up to 75 percent for a HELOC is interest included in the loan payoff amount of the house?
When a payoff is requested, it should be given in writing. This will include interest due up thru the day the HELOC will be paid off and any other fees that may be included (like a termination fee).
Can an HELOC default cause a home foreclosure?
Yes. A HELOC, or home equity line of credit, is also called a second mortgage (it can be a third or fourth or more though). The HELOC is a line of credit that is backed by your home. If you default on your HELOC payment, you are defaulting on a mortgage and you lose your house when you default on it. The difference between the first mortgage and the HELOC will really only matter to the banker who takes your home. The HELOC gets paid after the first mortgage is paid, so HELOCs are therefore riskier loans and generally come with higher interest rates. Example: your home cost $100 and you put $20 down. You now have $20 worth of equity in your home. You borrow $20 against that $20 in equity, so you now owe the full $100 again ($80 for the first mortgage, $20 for second/HELOC). If you default on either loan, the bank takes your home and will sell it to cover the loans. The first mortgage gets paid from the sale and anything left over goes to the second/HELOC.
Can a Home equity loan be a first mortgage?
Your mortgage company will want its loan in first place, because they want to be the first to be paid in case of default. If you get a HELOC on a home that is paid off, then it is in first place. Some states, like Texas, also restrict the loan to value on any home equity loan- currently to 80%.
When selling your house does the balance of the home equity line have to be included in the price?
The balance of your home equity line (if it is a lien on the home you are selling) will be deducted from the money you receive at the closing of the sale and paid to the bank holding the note. That clears the loan for you and removes the lien on the house for your buyer.

Do you have to pay taxes on a home equity line of credit when the house is sold tax-free because it was owner-occupied for more than two years?
If you mean do you have to pay taxes on the proceeds from the sale of a house which had a HELOC on it, the HELOC would be have to be paid off upon sale of the subject property. You wouldn't have to pay taxes on it since it is an expense, not income.
What does a secured loan and unsecured loan mean?
A secured loan is a loan in which there is physical collateral, meaning there is a physical item of worth that can be taken by the bank if the loan is not paid. Examples of this include a car loan or mortgage (house loan); the car or house are the collateral and therefore are the 'security' that the bank will not lose money on the loan. An unsecured loan is a loan in which there is no physical collateral, meaning there is no item of worth the bank can take if the loan is not paid. Examples of this include credit card debt or a student loan; in these cases, if the loan isn't paid the bank has to use a collections agency to try to get the money back.

Can a home equity line of credit be used like a checking account?
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is similar to a checking account in the following ways: * Checks drawing funds on a HELOC are written like normal checks * A HELOC check will bounce (NSF) if you exceed the credit line (and you will likely pay fees for such an occurrence) * Some HELOC programs are free if you write checks, some require an annual fee whether you use them or not The HELOC is different from a checking account as follows: * Money spent on HELOC checks is money that you don't generally have at the time (it must be paid back eventually) * Minimum amount per check (checks from a HELOC usually must be at least $100, some banks want at least $250) * When using a HELOC check, your minimum monthly payment on the HELOC will change in the month after the check is cashed * If you don't pay the HELOC or default on the HELOC, the bank may go after your home * The interest rate on a HELOC generally changes once or twice per year
