You might be forgetting that The Villages (the developer) aren't the only homesellers in the Villages. Most homes in the Villages are already owned by people living in them, or renting them out to other people.

When THOSE homeowners choose to sell their properties, the Villages (the Developer) has no input into who ends up buying them. Those are private sales.

They could choose the Villages official realtors to do the selling/buying on the private persons' behalf. But it is still a private sale. And many sellers go through NON-Villages listing service realtors to do the selling. Others don't use any realtors at all, but opt for a "for sale by owner" situation.

The Villages (the Developer) can't dictate who buys those properties sold by individual owners, because the Villages has no ownership in those properties anymore.
