They don't have to be aggressive or persistent, they just need to be low key and available. They are wonderful and don't call you back unless you ask them to.

I remember reading something like that, but it wasn't 10%. The ten percent seems really high when you consider the entire US. From what I could find, there are about 650,000 to 700,000 new homes built each year, so 10% would be 65,000 built in a year, that's more homes than in the entire Villages. The best I could find was in 2011 The Villages built about 1% of all new homes. They had been averaging about 2,000 new homes a year in the Brownwood area, and 1% meant that a down year was probably only about 200,000 new homes built in the US.
