A release of earnest money addendum is a document attached to a purchase agreement to relay how a buyers earnest money deposit will be distributed. The form instructs the agent holding the deposit to distribute the funds held in escrow.
The amount of earnest money a buyer needs to pay can vary by region and the competitiveness of the local real estate market. That said, it is usually about 1% to 2% of the homes purchase price (i.e., up to $8,000 for a $400,000 home). In a slow market, putting down 1% or less may be enough.
Earnest money is a way to show a seller that you are serious about purchasing their home. It is usually an amount between 1% and 3% of the agreed upon purchase price. So for a purchase price of $700,000 you could expect to put down between $7,000 and $21,000.
Earnest money is typically around 1% to 3% of the sale price and is held in an escrow account until the deal is complete. The exact amount depends on whats customary in your market. For example, if your area has very low housing inventory, larger amounts of earnest money may be more common than smaller amounts.
Amount and Calculation: The amount of earnest money varies, typically calculated as a fixed amount or a percentage of the homes purchase price, depending on the market. It can range from 1% to 2% of the purchase price, or even up to 10% in highly competitive markets.
