$5,000 down as a deposit. I found out Monday that my job of 5 years has been eliminated. Is there any way out of my contract with the builder and is it possible to get my deposit back?

You need to call your agent and let them know what is going on. You need to review all copies of the contract for an out. Most builders contracts call for a nonrefundable deposit but there may be a financing clause that lets you out with a return of the construction deposit that the builder has.
