If the sale does not cover your mortgage, the shortfall is a residual debt (restschuld) that you normally still owe. If you bought with NHG (Nationale Hypotheek Garantie), the guarantee may cover this shortfall under certain conditions, such as a forced sale due to divorce or job loss. Otherwise you may need to repay or refinance the remaining amount.
