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.
There is no set amount for an earnest money check. Some agents advocate offering as low as possible, but others will encourage you to submit enormous sums. There's no doubt that greater amounts better demonstrate how serious you are, but $1,000 will typically suffice without undue financial burden.
