The Developer is putting in those 'ponds' so they can increase the home price. Our sales rep friend said the ponds look good now due to all the rain we have received, but beware. The Developer will not guarantee that water will always be in the pond. In my opinion, you can have a pond or pond scum or mush behind you house. No thanks.
According to the Villages Homefinder (their official webpage) there are 22 "new" homes for sale that are not already pending. There are three additional homesites that will build to your specifications. There are also almost 300 "new" homes for sale that are "pending."

Considering that NEW homes typically close within 30 days in the Villages, it's safe to assume that MOST of those pending homes were only sold within the last 30 days.

Doesn't sound to me like a slow-down at all.
