It doesn't need to be discharged but the file date does have to be at least 12 months prior and all payments made on time.

BK 13 don't go by discharge date but by the filing date.

That is because it doesn't need to be discharged. They can buy or refinance while in a Chapter 13, but the Bankruptcy Trustee must approve it.
