If the new covenant is now, then it is now made with the houses of Israel and Judah. Jesus established the new covenant before He died, it was ratified by His death, verified by His resurrection, and inaugurated by the outpouring of His Spirit. As you said, the new covenant is NOW. There is no future covenant, it is now.
Granted, there are future effects of that covenant (the resurrection, for example), but the covenant itself is presently in place. And if it is presently in place, it is presently in place with the people with whom it was made.
