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.
Earnest money is paid at the time of your offer. Each state has very strict rules on how this deposit is managed until the transaction closes. Generally, these funds are held in an escrow account managed by the buyerâs real estate agent or the title company. The deposit is then applied to your closing costs or returned to you at closing. Earnest money funds are usually applied to a loanâs closing costs or to the down payment.
