Re: "Will Have" Vs "Would Have"
I reckon I will have decided by December 2018. 
As a stand-alone sentence #1 is correct (though your punctuation is a bit illogical).
#2 needs some kind of condition.

Re: "Will Have" Vs "Would Have"
Thank you very much, Joe. Sorry for the late reply.
By the bye, could you tell me why you think the punctuation in sentence 1 is "illogical"? I thought it is fine to enclose parenthetical expressions between commas.
