The real place to find out how sales are in any CDD is to look at the audits that are released yearly for every CDD. This is what was in the audits for the year ending September 30, 2018 for CDD 12 which is the area south of 44.
"Village CDD No. 12 (Sumter County) – This CDD’s boundary consists of
approximately 1,483 acres within the city limits of the City of Wildwood in the in the
northeast corner of the county. Planned development includes construction of 6,144
residential units of which 4,608 remain unsold as of the end of the Fiscal Year."
If you do the calculation that means that since February 2017 when they began selling there until October 2018 (20 months) they actually sold 1536 homes.
According to the 2017 audit they had sold 206 by September 30, 2017,
Feb 2017 - Oct 2017 - 206 residential units sold south of 44
Oct 2017 - Oct 2018 - 1330 residential units sold south of 44
Those are the real numbers according to the approved audits.

This would jive with data on the Sumter County Appraiser's website, which indicates the following sales in The Villages south of 44:
2017: 354
2018: 1472
2019: 218
The property appraiser tends to run a few weeks behind in recording new sales on their website.
