Earnest money is usually between 1% and 3% of the home's purchase price. For a $400,000 home, earnest money may range between $4,000 and $12,000. The earnest money amount is usually included in the buyer's offer; buyers may try to make their bid seem more serious by offering more earnest money.
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.
