While I agree that you should keep it open since you'll be buying in the near future, a card open since only 2007 (2 years) still does not qualify as a long term for credit. When we bought our house in 2008, my credit score pulled up my first card that I got sometime in 2003. It was less than 5 years and did not make me qualify as having "long term" credit - which docked my score a little.
