In a reposession situation, the lender has to try and sell it on the open market for a couple of months at least. If it doesn't sell, then it will go to auction where it will typically achieve what they call "red book value" which is normally 75% of the market value. In this case, any shortfall between what is owed and what the property sells for will become a new unsecured debt to yourself and your ex (if she was on the mortgage and deeds) under joint and several liability (that means you are both liable for the full amount).
