The forced sale of a primary residence is possible by a judgment creditor. However, this seldom happens as the procedure is lengthy and costly, generally the judgment creditor will place a lien on the property thereby encumbering it so that it cannot be refinanced, have the title transferred or sold until the lien is satisfied. Whether or not a valid lien is possible and/or a forced sale of the property is viable depends largely on how the property is titled.

Will it hurt you in being able to buy a house or car if you lose a civil suit against you?
Probably, in most cases a judgment is entered against the defendant.

It may be possible, so contact a local lawyer who practices in this area. It is possible that a judgment creditor in one state can sue on the judgment in your state and have it entered as a lien in your state on your house. If the out of state judgment was gotten properly, i.e. with all due process requirements being met, you will not have an opportunity to contest the facts of the complaint. The court will rule that you had your chance in the other court to do that.
