Read the definition of default in your mortgage. It's illegal to have bankruptcy as a definition of default but you want to check that you didn't do anything else which is a default. If you didn't default, then they can't foreclose.

Is this a good time to file Chapter 7?

Now might be a good time for you to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Some additional questions that I would want to discuss with you are whether you are up to date on our mortgage and car payments, whether you have you have a spouse with significant income, and if you have paid any family members money you owed them in the past 12 months. Assuming you are up to date on the payments, you are single or your spouse?s income is not so high as to put your household income over the median income threshold in Massachusetts, and you have not made transfers to family members in the past twelve months, then this may be a good time to file. You should consult with a qualified bankruptcy attorney before taking the next step. Good luck.
