Issue
Where the proceeds of sale of the debt- or’s residential real property exceed the amount of all consensual mortgages thereon, but such proceeds do not exceed the total amount of all liens (consensual and nonconsensual) in an amount sufficient to satisfy the debtor’s homestead exemption, may the debtor use § 522(f) to obtain his exemption by avoiding judicial liens that, but for a subsequent consensual and unavoidable mortgage, would not impair the debtor’s exemption?
