This depends on state law. Some states allow the lender to sue the homeowners after the foreclosure auction, if the proceeds of the sale are not sufficient enough to pay off the total owed on the loan.

In reality, though, homeowners are rarely sued by the bank after the sheriff sale. The lender does not want to continue spending money and resources to pursue another lawsuit that they will not be able to collect on.
