Earnest Money for a New House!!!!!?

I need some advice with the following:

My husband and I are planning to buy a new house that hasn't been built in Houston, Texas.

The cost of the house is $230,000.00. They are ';giving us'; $10,000.00 in incentives, but they are asking for $10,000.00 as earnest money. Everybody that I've ask about it, tells us that the amount is just outrageous.

What do you think?
