There is much speculation as to whether or not the decision has already been made, and the government is just holding off on the announcement in order to create a surge of buyers.

Although I hope that it gets extended and expanded to everyone, I really think that we would've known by now, regardless of whether or not they've announced it.

Look, we all know the government isn't very good at keeping secrets. If they had decided to extend, there would've been a leak to the press, and a press conference to say that it was all a 'rumor'. 

As of right now, it's as if the government is clueless to the subject. I'm just saying, I hope it does get extended, but I wouldn't bet money on it. 

Therefor, if you're a first time buyer that is looking to take advantage of this credit. You have maybe a week to get under contract. Now is not the time to dilly dally.
