The buyers snapping up the new builds are, I'm sure, delighted with their lovely and well-built homes.

I think that you'll still see a variance of colors and styles in the future. Other developers are buying up some of the homes and putting block and stucco homes in. Also owners are replacing their manufactured homes with either newer manufactured homes or site built that don't look like The Villages' homes. A brand new manufactured home just went in around the corner from me.

And as DigitalGranny points out, many people are very happy with what they have an won't be selling anytime soon.

As this revitalization continues over the years, I would guess that the homes that The Villages builds here might vary as well.
