I'm wondering about the typical amount that is held in escrow during a real estate transaction or any other situation where escrow is used. I want to know the general range or average of the funds kept in escrow.

The earnest money deposit, a significant aspect of the home buying process, typically constitutes 1 to 2 percent of the agreed-upon purchase price of the property.

This deposit serves as a tangible expression of the buyer's commitment to the transaction and demonstrates their serious intent to proceed with the purchase.

To ensure the safety and security of this financial commitment, the earnest money deposit is held in an escrow account until the contract between the buyer and seller is finalized.

An escrow account is a trusted, neutral third-party account where funds are held until specific conditions outlined in the contract are met. This arrangement protects both parties' interests and ensures fairness throughout the transaction.

Once the contract is finalized, the funds held in the escrow account are released according to the terms outlined in the agreement. For the buyer, this often means that the earnest money deposit will be applied towards their down payment or closing costs.
