You have to be 2 years away from a bankruptcy in order to get most types of financing. The exception to the rule is if you put down more than 20%, maybe 25-30%.

As an example, FHA will allow a bankruptcy (3.5% down) that is 2 years and 1 day old.

I can run you through an automated system and I would know within 10 mins if you are qualified for any type of conventional financing with your recent bankruptcy. This would determine the amount of your downpayment.

By selling your home now it will allow you to pay the remaining
balance of what you owe to the trustee and have your bankruptcy
discharged now rather than waiting years to complete your plan.
By discharging from your chapter 13 it will enable you to re-establish
your credit.

As a listing agent I will be able to help you sell your home. If you have
additional questions you can direct them to me.
