A judgment can be executed in several ways, the preferred method for a judgment creditor to recover monies is through wage garnisment. Bank account levy, liens against real property owned by the judgment debtor. In some U.S. states the seizure and sale of unexempt personal property held by the debtor (CD's, jewelry, electronics, items of value) is also allowed, but the action is rarely implemented by the judgment holder.

What happens to a judgment balance in a real estate short sale in New York state. If there is no equity in the sale will the judgment be released?

In any state, Judgements are usually filed with a court. In order for the Judgement to be released, someone -- preferably the party that filed the Judgement -- must be satisfied before the Judgement is released. Your question is unclear about who filed the Judgement. If there is no equity in the sale, it's unreasonable to expect that the Judgement would be released automatically.
