Following the
boom year we saw for domain sales in 2021, a lot of people
hope to see that powerful momentum propel the market
through another banner year. All markets have their up and
down cycles though, so we will be paying especially close
attention to sales reports, looking for any signs of a
slowdown. It is early, but the market certainly got off on
the right foot in the first month of the new year. We've
had two seven-figure sales come to light in January,
matching the total of publicly reported sales at that level
for all of 2020. On the other hand, 14
seven-figure sales were reported in 2021,
so we still have a long way to go to pass last year's mark.
|
|
|
The first big one
this year was reported in our
last column - Unlock.com at
$1,228,200. The second one just came to light this past week
when George
Kirikos uncovered a $1,761,000 sale of
Galaxy.com in an SEC filing that (sales being reported for
the first time are added to our latest chart, as long as
the sale occurred within the preceding 12 months. Older sales
that are high enough go into our Domain
Sales
Archive on the Top 100 Chart for the year in
which they occurred). MediaOptions.com
was the buyer's broker in the Galaxy.com sale. While the
seller received $1.761 million, the buyer, Galaxy Digital,
also paid MediaOptions a separate undisclosed fee for
successfully acquiring the domain for them.
|
The #2 domain on our latest
all extension Top 20 Sales Chart, BankFirst.com, attracted a
blockbuster price for a two-word .com - $800,000. That Q4-2021
sale was uncovered by Kevin Murphy at DomainIncite.com,
who got confirmation from the buyer (a small Wisconsin bank) after
seeing the transaction in an SEC filing they made.
The .coms went on to
sweep 14 of the 20 chart entries, with Sedo
posting #3 Brasil.com at $92,950 and Braden Pollock's
LegalBrandMarketing.com
putting up #4 Curable.com at $90,000. Braden also
rang up the $35,000 sale of #18 Recognize.io, one of
three ccTLDs on the Big Board. Sedo posted the two highest ones
- #7 Q.to at $50,000 and #17 Krypto.de
at €35,700 ($40,341) and went on to pile up 11 chart entries
overall.

The non
.com gTLDs also took three places on the elite list, with two of
those going to Swetha.xyz
for her sales of #5 Momentum.xyz at $69,888 and #15 MetaData.xyz
at $49,888. Sandwiched between those two was Sedo's $50,000
sale of #11 (tie) Filter.org. Everything
else went to the .coms whose cause was aided by a $60,000 sale
of #6 ETHLink.com by Nam.es,
another one for $50,000 for #11 (tie) Buoyancy.com,
logged by Domaincracy
through Afternic
and another, ##16 NaturalProcess.com at $41,396, booked by BrandDrip via BrandBucket.com. One
other note before we go to the new bi-weekly chart. With this second
report of the new year, we had enough data in to open up our 2022
Year-to-Date Top Sales Charts. If you are looking for the
2021 Top 100 you will still be able to permanently access that
chart in our Archive through this link: 2021
Top 100 Sales Charts. Now,
here is a look at how
all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks

Keep in mind that these are the highest value
cash only sales that have been reported to us in the
past two weeks. 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.

Country
Codes
The ccTLDs
were led by the trio of five-figure sales you saw on the
all-extension chart above, plus five more that reached six-figures
including MrPremium.com's
$20,000 sale of #4 (tie) Apes.io. Sedo shared that
position with their own $20,000 sale of Dash.com.au.
Sedo, who leads our latest Country Code Top
20 Sales Chart with their $57,500 sale of Q.to,
went on to sweep 17 of the 20 chart entries, one of those being a
$7,345 sale of #11 CFU.de on behalf of IsarDomains.com.
LegalBrandMarketing.com
was the only other venue with multiple chart entries, scoring twice
with #3 Recognize.io at $35,000 and #12 Earth.vc
at $6,500.
Germany's .de won the
extension race (as they usually do) taking six chart entries. .io
was next with four and Switzerland's .ch has three. It was a
very diverse couple of weeks with 10 different TLDs taking
places on the leader board.

Non .com gTLDs (.net, .org and
others, including new gTLDs)
As was the case with the
ccTLDs, the non .com gTLDs were led by a trio of sales that
made the all-extension leader board, with the $69,888 sale of Momentum.xyz
at Swetha.xyz
setting the pace. That is one of seven five-figure sales on our latest Non
.Com gTLD Top 20 Sales Chart. All of the sales at the level in all
TLDs were listed above, so the biggest one in this group that you
haven't seen yet is an $8,000 sale of #8 FAQ.porn by
the GoDaddy Registry.
The top ten is rounded out
with Sedo's $7,797 sale of #9 VOIP.org plus a
pair of $7,000 domains that tied for #10 - BNB.club
via GoDaddy and URC.org through Sedo.
