You can negotiate how much of an earnest deposit to pay with the seller, though many buyers donât realize that itâs negotiable. Two to three percent of the purchase price is a typical amount; so $6,000 to $9,000 may be requested for a $300,000 house.The typical percentage of earnest money deposit varies across the country and depending on the specific market conditions.n order for a contract to be legally valid, there must be an offer, consideration, and acceptance. The amount of consideration, in the form of the earnest money deposit, can be as little as $1, however, if accepted by the buyer.
Some industry experts say earnest money should not exceed 3-5 percent of the purchase contract, while others say 2 percent should be the maximum. Some sellers donât even compute a percentage, but instead ask for flat amounts in the $5,000-$10,000 range.
