credit score 716 , 730 ,731 on my fico . Available credit 32,000 . Carry 0 balances . Should I get any other credit cards ? I have venture 15 k , Amex everyday 10k , 3 quicksilvers 5 k total , Jared store card 3500 . Anything else I should add to up my credit score ? I have two inquiries currently . Want to buy a house in 9 months .
How old are your accounts?
I recommend staying in the garden until you are ready to purchase your home in 9 months since it is ideal for you to for you not to have many inquiries for a year prior to the purchase. See link to garden club below:

Exactly! If you are planning to buy a home within the next 9 months, do not app for anything until you have your house keys in hand.

No. don't apply for anything if a house is in the future. let what you have grown to optimize your scores and keep doing what you are doing.
No more cards, just manage what you have now.
Averag credit card is 4.5 years old . I want to combine quicksilvers but I don't want the account to come as closed .
If a really great card came along, you really don't need to wait 9 months before a mortgage. But for normal stuff that can wait, I can understand. But I have apped within a few weeks of closing, and it isn't a big issue, unless the score dip moves you from one bracket to another, which shouldn't be that common.
