What is a short sale you ask?

A short sale is when a lienholder, typically the mortgage company, agrees to release their lien for less than what is owed to them.

Here's an example:
Mortgage payoff from seller: $300,000
Market value on property is $275,000
The "short" is $25,000

Short sales typically take a bit longer than a typical sale so buyers will need to keep that in mind.
