The tax credit should be extended as is, but not until the current credit expires.  As a marketing rep for a title/escrow company in the Beaverton area, I have seen the increase in sale activity as a direct result of the credit.  If an extension is announced too early, that activity will fade as buyers hop back on the fence, waiting for a better deal.  But if nothing is done once the current credit expires, you will see a shut down in activity over the winter equal to or greater than what we experienced last year.
