In all my short sales, I've only had one bank negotiate a deficiency judgment but read on:

Financially troubled borrowers may think that foreclosure or a short sale of their home means their mortgage woes are over.
Not necessarily.
Some homeowners are finding that when they sell their homes for less than the outstanding mortgages -- a so-called short sale -- their mortgage companies are going after them for some or all of the difference. Mortgage companies are also sometimes taking legal action to recover unpaid amounts after a foreclosure is completed.

I agree that Short Sales have some drawbacks, like accommodating buyers will mean keeping your home in spotless condition for weeks or month until an offer has received and putting up with traffic through your home, but short sales have also benefits.
