Lights on, Lights off

This is another thing in the back of my mind. We have a large amount cash sitting doing nothing because we're not-really-looking-but-thinking-about-threatening-to-look for another house (or doing some renovations to ours) and in my mind I've wanted to keep some money liquid. Outside of dedicated retirement accounts, we don't have anything in a more traditional brokerage account. The cash cushion is nice/comforting, but it's also pretty dumb from a "this could be making some money" perspective.

Hello half assedly looking for a house buddy! I've been doing the same thing of stuffing money into a saving account to have it liquid in the event of house buying and also wonder if I should lock it up in something longer term or higher yield. Current half baked idea is a house in 1-2 years, and I'm curious what the goon hivemind has to say about this strat.
