If you wish to sell your house while your chapter 7 case is still open, you must obtain authority from the Chapter 7 Trustee to do so. If your case has already been closed, and the Trustee did not sell your house, then you are free to do with it whatever you wish.
The Discharge has nothing to do with your options. The key is whether your case has been closed or not.
