In principle, yes, but it depends on the equity in your home and how much of it you can exempt, as well as the non-exempt equity in all other assets and how much debt, income and expenses you have.

It depends on what type of bankruptcy your are filing, if the home is your primary residence and not an investment property, how much you owe, and if you are behind on your payments. It also depends on the state you are filing in.

Usually, your house, if it is a primary residence, many states will allow you to keep your house as an exemption.
