We are looking to purchase as soon as possible (ie next 6 months), but we live in Southern California, so we're looking more at the condo market as that is in our price range.

These people answering you with, "buy a CD" are wrong. Granted they are trying to help and good for them. But they are wrong and that guy who says use an IRA is a complete moron, no one should let him answer finance questions. A CD is a very safe way to invest in fact they are completely safe. But with only 20k and six months, in so-cal a CD probably isn't your best option. The fastest way to make the most money would be by investing in the stock market. Granted you want your money to be safe, so index funds are a decent way to go, they have very low fees and will track the overall market pretty well. However with the market in the crappy state its in with interest rate fears the market probably isn't the best place to be in. You are either going to need to allocate more time to invest or set your sights on a smaller more affordable home. Sorry I hope this helps a little bit though,

I would invest it in a high yield CD, or certificate of deposit. Basically, you deposit the money into an account and dont touch it for a set period of time, you let it accrue interest. YOu then have the choice of either rolling the interest back into the CD or withdrawing it. Make sure you shop around for the highest rate and dont just take the first one offered. |

Without knowing your time frame it is tough to comment. However, CD's and money market funds can be excellent for short term money. |

with 20k you may be able to use that as the downpayment- depends on how much you are looking to spend, and how good your credit is. |

How long are you planning to invest it? There's some six-month term CD investments that are OK. |

Currently, investing in gasoline is the only guaranteed return...and it'll be huge. |

I know firms that are currently offering 6-month CDs for 5.0%. They're FDIC insured, and I can tell you that if you're saving for a home purchase for such a short time period, you really don't want to subject your investment to any sort of volatility where your principal could decline. This eliminates nearly all stock and even bond options. If if weren't a rising interest rate environment, I'd suggest a bond fund, but interest rates are continuing to rise right now, so that probably wouldn't be a good idea in your case.
Hope this helps!
