The down payment and good faith deposit are often confused as one and the same. The down payment is the amount of cash a Buyer puts in to a purchase of a property. Example: John Doe is buying 100 Main St. for $100,000. Mr. Doe is applying for conventional financing with 20% down. Therefore, his downpayment would be $20,000.

The good faith deposit is the amount of money given by the Buyer to the escrow agent in a real estate transaction. The escrow agent is usually an attorney for the seller or a title company. The good faith deposit can be the entire amount of the downpayment, or a portion. This is determined in the contract of sale.
