Big Sale of HomeCare.com and Tidal Wave of ccTLDs Flood This Week's Domain Sales Chart 

This was a very interesting week in the domain aftermarket. While HomeCare.com stole the show with an impressive $350,000 sale in the NamesCon conference's live domain auction, the ccTLDs also made waves by piling up ten entries on our latest all extension Top 20 Sales Chart. 

Michael Berkens of RightOfTheDot.com (who staged the NamesCon auction) was the HomeCare.com seller and that deal gave him three of the six biggest sales reported so far in this new year. Michael (through his domain sales company - MostWantedDomains.com) also has 2015's biggest sale with 345.com at $800,000 (as we reported Jan. 7) as well as the 2nd biggest with HomeCare.com and the 6th biggest with another sale he recorded this week, SuperSeats.com at $48,888 via Sedo.  

By Ron Jackson

HomeCare.com and SuperSeats.com give Michael the 1st and 4th spots on this week's sales chart, with the two biggest ccTLD sales sandwiched in between. The .SE Registry, continuing their sale of previously reserved Swedish domains (that produced the $265,149 sale of TV.se last week) filled six more chart positions this week with names they auctioned off on EBay's Tradera.com platform. That group was led by #2 Spanien.se ("Spain" in Swedish) at $60,000 and #3 SE.se at $52,000. The #5 slot went to WebShops.nl, a Dutch domain that Undeveloped.nl sold for $39,279. 

The flood of ccTLD sales continued with #7 SD.se at $24,000 but the country code sales came from more quarters than just the .SE Registry auctions. NetFleet.com.au sold #14 FirstChoice.com.au for $12,908, Sedo sold both #16 Elespañol.com, an IDN at $12,000 and #19 Autoteile.eu at $7,980 and Flippa.com moved #17 SEO.io at $11,000.

With the .coms taking 10 chart entries and the ccTLDs the other 10, the non .com gTLDs were shut out. They have been the weakest group for several years now but this was an unusually slow week, even for them, with no reported sales from that group rising above $5,000. 

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, Jan. 25:

Keep in mind that these are the highest value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the past week. This column is meant to be an educational tool, not a complete list documenting ALL high value domain sales. Such a list is impossible to produce because many sales are kept private at the insistence of buyers, sellers or both. Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Country Codes

As I noted above, the ccTLDs had a monster week, nearly taking over the all extension leader board with ten chart entries led by Spanien.se at $60,000. With those names filling the first 10 spots on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart the biggest sale from this group that you haven't seen yet is #11 MotorSport.cn, a Chinese domain that Sedo sold for $5,700.

Sedo followe up with #12 NN.ro - a rare Romanian country code sale - at $5,699 and they went on to claim 8 chart entries overall. Tradera was next with six (all sold by the .SE Registry) including #2 SE.se at $52,000.

Thanks to all of those Tradera sales, Sweden's .se easily won the extension race with six chart entries. The European Union's .eu was next with three. Here is how the country code leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, January 25:

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org, .biz, .info & others, including new gTLDs)

It was a rough week for the non .com gTLDs. Not only did they have no five-figure sales, they had none reported over $5,000. That left the door open for USA.wiki to take the #1 position in our latest Non .com gTLD Top 20 Chart with a $5,000 sale at Sedo. Sedo filled the next three spots as well with SmartSource.org ($4,500), DearWorld.org ($4,400) and Krankenhaus.net ($3,999).

Flippa rounded out the first five with Helicopters.net at $3,000 and secured the next slot as well with Bookmark.org at $2,550. Between the two of them, Sedo and Flippa swept the entire chart with 13 spots going to Sedo and seven to Flippa.

The .nets won the extension race with seven chart entries nipping the .orgs who had six.  Here's how all of the Non .Com gTLD leaders stacked up for the week ending Sunday, January 25:
