If the house im selling falls out of escrow do I get my $ back on the one that Im buying?
I am selling a house and purchasing another. The one that I am buying is on the contingency of selling the other one. If the house I am selling falls out of escrow for any reason (even if buyer backs out) will the house that I am purchasing be able to keep my deposit? It only went into escrow today. I still have 10 days for the inspection to back out, but wondering about if the other one doesn’t sell.

Ask your BUYER’S agent (the one helping you buy the new home) about the purchase contingency. If he/she wrote the right contract, YES, you get your earnest money refunded.
