The money was probably deposited in escrow, and will probably stay there until the appropriate decider (arbitration/mediation/court) decides you gets what. If you were represented by a realtor, their broker should be able to inform you as the most likely scenario. If they have been a broker for any time at all your situation isn't the first time it happened. The real estate offer to purchase agreement usually states if it is non-refundable and on what circumstances how to parcel it out. I experienced the same situation only back when the market sucked and buyers were far and few between. I din't get a dime. The buyer got a nickel and the realtor & attorneys' (ies) got the rest.
