Earnest money is given to the seller buy the buyer when the offer is accepted. It shows the seller that the buyer is serious, and if the buyer backs out without reason, the seller keeps the earnest money. Earnest money can be made contingent on whether or not the home passes inspection, or if you can get financing, or really anything you want to make it contingent upon, as long as you put it in the earnest money agreement. If the home doesn't meet the earnest money requirements upon inspection, or you are not able to get financing, then you can get the earnest money back. |

Earnest money is a good faith deposit but not to be confused with a down payment. When buyers execute a purchase contract, the contract specifies how much money the buyer is initially putting up to secure the contract, to show "good faith," and how much money all together will be deposited as a down payment. The balance is generally financed as a mortgage or a combination of mortgages. An earnest money deposit says to the seller: "Yes, I am serious enough about buying your house that I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is."
Because there is no set amount, it varies from market to market and across the country.
If it's a seller's market, with many buyers fighting over limited inventory, it makes logical sense for the buyer to put down a much larger earnest money deposit to entice the seller to accept the offer. In buyer's markets, a larger earnest money deposit might entice a seller to accept a much lower purchase price. So you see, it all depends. |

It is a sum of money you put down to show the seller that you are serious about entering a purchase. It's usually held for you by a neutral party (escrow company) to be drawn when an agreement is reached by the seller and buyer of a home.-good luck -Rf |

WHOA, if your saying it is for a homeloan, and not a purchase included, you have a problem! Some lenders will try to get money up front, so you wont walk from them, and then they can charge you more. It is legal, but why, with so much competition. Hope its for the home...
Good luck, cjkloanguy@yahoo.com |

Ernest Money is a small amount (Usually a thousand dollars) of money you give towards working a deal on a home. The money is returned to you in full if your offer is not accepted. If your offer is accepted it is used to pay your closing costs at closing. It is also given to insure your part of the deal. If your offer is accepted and then you want to withdraw your offer then the ernest money is awarded to the seller. This is for the inconveniance of taking their home off of the market for the duration from the time of the offer to the time you withdrem. Thus the name ernest it means you are making a good faith offer and are ernest in your determination to buy the home. |

ernest money is "deposit money" when you make an offer on a home, and the seller accepts, this money is used to open escrow at a title company so that this transaction can be completed. |

Basically, it's cash you put up, typically $ 500.00, as you begin the
qualification process. If you qualify, it's applied to your down payment,
closing costs, etc. If you qualify and don't take the house, you lose the
money. It keeps people from tying up real estate who have no real interest
in buying. If you don't qualify, you get your money back. |

Earnest Money is money the buyer gives to the seller to prove they are serious on the purchase (They earnestly want to buy the property.) and to keep another contract from being drawn up by another buyer, it is generally non-refundable. In my case, the buyer gave my husband and I only like $1500 down. It is usually taken off of the total price the buyer must come up with for closing costs, etc. |

Ernest Money is money the seller is giving to the buyer to help pay for closing costs in the purchase transaction. |
