With the general
economy and crypto currency markets taking so many body
blows this fall we've all been wondering how well the
domain market will weather the storm. We have enough data in
now to say that at least one trend has emerged. A lot
of domain sales are still being reported but the price tags
on those getting sold have come down considerably. No
surprise, as people tend to think twice about big expenditures
when it is hard to see what is around the next corner.
Our
latest bi-weekly all extension Top 20 Sales Chart reflects
that. The #1 sale of JobCube.com - $35,999 at Sedo
- is the lowest #1 sale of the year
to date. We can also see that it's not an outlier
because three of the four lowest #1 sales of 2022 have
|
|
|
come
in the last 60 days including Dropped .com ($65,000)
last month and MA.ca ($46,856) in September. This week's entire
top 20 totaled approximately $362,000. There have been
many times this year when the chart topper alone
exceeded that amount. With six weeks to go in 2022, the
current year could still end with a bang but odds are we are
going to have to see a lot more wind in the overall
economy's sails before the highest fliers come back in
significant numbers.
Returning
to the business hand, while the price tags have been lower
lately, Sedo
continues to book a lot of the sales that are being made,
including all of the top three this time around the track.
They also scored with the two that tied for #2 at $26,000
apiece - FMJ.com and Heizungen.de
("heaters" in German). The latter domain appears
to have been a quick flip as it had just sold the month
before for $7,425 (also at Sedo).
|
|
A
pair of $25,000 sales rounded out the first five. Optimal
Names sold Cloudity.com via Dan.com
at that price while SnapNames
booked the same amount for Mivi.com. The .coms
went on to pile up 13 of the 20 chart entries with SnapNames
accounting for six of those.
The ccTLDs
were next in line with five spots on the Big Board - all
produced by Sedo who has dominated that category ever since
the company was founded over 20 years ago. One of those, #10 Astrologie.fr
at $15,600, joined Heizungen.de on the top half of
the elite list.
The non
.com gTLDs were limited to two spots with Sedo posting
those as well. #7 (tie) Fashion.net went for $20,000
and #16 (tie) Showcase.org drew $13,000.

One other note
before we go to the charts. One historical six-figure sale did
come to light for the first time this week. As DomainInvesting.com
reported, it was learned that Clever.com sold for $200,000
in 2013. As a result we have added it to our Top
100 Chart for that year in our Domain
Sales Archive where it moved into the #30
position. Now,
here is how all
of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks
ending Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022:

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.

The ccTLDs
were led by the half-dozen five-figure sales we told you about
in the all extension section above with Sedo's $26,000 sale
of Heizungen.de
("heaters" in German) setting the pace. That
biggest sale in this category that you haven't seen yet is the
#7 domain on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.
That is another Sedo sale - Restlos.de at €9,520
($9,901).
Sedo went on to sweep every
entry on the leader board, something they have managed to do
several times over the years but it still very impressive to see
every time it happens. They rounded out the top half of the
chart with a nice Belgian ccTLD, NFT.be, at €7,600 ($7,904).
Germany's .de scored
an easy win in the extension race, piling up nine chart
entries. No other TLD had more than one except .me and .co
with two each. Here is how the top
ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Nov.
