Does your bank have a money market account possible? At least you'd get higher interest.

Depending on your timeframe you could buy a couple of CDs - maybe a 20K one for 12 months, a 10k one for 6 months (if this is emergency money you might need). Or google "laddering" CDs - buy a CD every month with a % of the money and just keep them rolling over time until you get to the point of home buying.

Put it in a high yield savings account stat. Interest rates are well over 4 percent at the moment. Don’t let that money sit where it is a day longer - you’re giving your bank free money.

What to do with it? Ideally I’d be using it towards an eventual down payment.
