Yes, you are legally liable until title transfers to the new owner at the foreclosure sale. Be sure, upon the foreclosure sale date, to notify the HOA of the change of ownership - provide them a copy of the Trustee's Deed on Sale showing who the new owner is, and that you are no longer the owner of record.
