A deposit made by a purchaser of real estate to evidence good faith. It is customary for a buyer to give the seller earnest money at the time a sales contract is signed. The earnest money generally is credited to the down payment at closing, which is applied at closing as a component of payment against the purchase price.en-UShttp://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/documentationhttp://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/link
