MEMORANDUM OPINION
MARVIN ISGUR, Bankruptcy Judge.
Gregorio B. Villarreal and Estela Villarreal, the debtors in this chapter 13 case, filed this adversary proceeding in which they seek to avoid the foreclosure of their real property. Although the foreclosure was conducted in accordance with state law, it enabled Showalter to receive more than he would have received in a hypothetical liquidation under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Court avoids the transfer made to Showalter at foreclosure.
