yes, you can purchase a home while in chapter 13. However, It may be best for you to to wait until you are one day removed from bankruptcy with discharge papers. b/c you will pay a hefty interest rate. If you do this, it may be beneficial to get on a ARM with the goal to refinance w/in 3-5 years. The goal will be to have your FICO score w/ cash reserves (2-6 mos) in good standing before refinancing. good luck
