What happens to your mortgage if you sell your home for less than you owe?

We would like to move into a bigger home. We live in a small condo that we paid a lot for. We will never get as much for it as we owe for our loan, but we have out grown it. We are not in a foreclosure situation because we are making the payments on time without a problem. If we sell our home for less than it is worth, can we add the balance of our mortgage onto the mortgage of a new home, or will we owe the bank the balance right then and there?


Do you still make mortgage payments while your home is on the market to sell?

My friend was selling his house and couldn’t make the mortgage payments while the house was on the market. He said the real estate agent/company would pay his mortgage while it was up for sale. Then when the house sold, they deducted it from the price of the sale. How is this done?
Also, if you don’t make any mortgage payments while the house is on the market can it go into foreclosure?
