The answer to this question really depends on the specifics of your situation, so you are best to meet with a local trustee to determine that. However, as a general rule you are best to file the bankruptcy before selling or listing the home as then you will be able to protect the maximum amount of the equity within the property. But definitely consult with a local trustee before you decide what to do.
