When you write your earnest money check you want to show the seller that you are serious about buying their house. If it is a $400,000 house you do not want to write a $500 check. It would be more appropriate to write a $5000 check. For a $200,000 house I would want you to write a $2,000 or $3,000 check. Sure you could write a bigger check for an earnest money deposit, but there is an potential issue when doing that.
Closing Cash. No law designates a minimum amount a buyer should use for an earnest money deposit. California buyers typically provide earnest money deposits of three percent of the sale price. At that rate, a buyer would need $9,000 in earnest money for a $300,000 home. The $9,000 deposit subsequently gets credited toward the down payment or closing costs. For example, if the $300,000 purchase requires a 20 percent down payment, or $60,000, the buyer brings only $51,000 to the closing.
