Money Market. Don't risk the money if you can't afford to lose it.

If you know that you wont need to dip into this money for a few years, put it into a CD.

I am selling my house this Spring and decided to rent for a year or two rather than buy right away. What type of account is the best place to keep my proceeds from the sale of my current home that will be used as the down payment for my future home? It would be nice to earn some interest but nothing risky. Thanks.
