2 years is not enough to risk 100% of the capital you need to buy your house. The question you always ask yourself when you invest is 'am I ok losing the money' because the market can dip or crash at anytime. There's even fears of a recession happening in 1-2yrs right now because of the record bull run. If you actually need the money to not go down I'd invest in the highest yield and lowest risk fixed income investments you can find.

Where do you live? If it's Bay area, I won't advice to buy a home unless your family net worth hits 1m, which it will in 4-5 years.

For how long have you been earning that TC? If it is for a few years already then you are not accumulating as much as you should. I would rather look into budgeting better. You're not saving enough with 380k TC. You should already have a lot more aside than 160k. Hell that's what you should at least save every year.

2 yrs means saving account is best.
