Foreclosure sale indicating "Pending" shortsale

[Carlos Fernandez]

When researching foreclosures in my county, I notice Zillow, Redfin, etc. says "Pending" with the property.  But the property is still listed as a foreclosure next week.  Is this because they are most likely trying to do a short sale on the property?  If it is still listed as a foreclosure on the date of foreclosure is it safe to say the short sale did not go through?

Thanks
