Once again Short Sale is extended

In the continuing sage of short sales, my short sale from hell has once again been extended. At least there is now some response from Saxon Mortgage and someone is actually talking with the listing agent and giving us numbers of days. Will this be the last extension? There certainly should be some kind of end in sight with this property since someone will eventually buy it. It has just drawn on and on and on and on. So, I'm hoping but will believe it is the last when the deal closes and I get paid for the many, many hours that I've spent on this transaction.
