Refund occurs if and only if all conditions of the escrow agreement are carried out. In the case of an escrow of money from the seller, this is done to make sure that all requirements of the sale, including those that may be hidden or not immediately apparent are carried out. An escrow agreement is a contract. A third party, the escrow holder is involved. Because a third party holds the money, this is not the same as a deposit. The third party is the one who must be satisfied that the agreement is completed. There are specific government laws and regulations on escrow agreements, as well as the principles of contracts. Laws and regulations control how the money in escrow affects financial standing of the parties in the transaction in regards to loan eligability. jp
