Good Start for 2024 Domain Sales with Three 6-Figure Sales Topping First Chart of New Year Sales

Our first bi-weekly domain sales chart of the 2024 sales season is here and it looks like buyers made a quick return to the marketplace after the holiday break. Our initial all extension Top 20 Sales Chart is topped by a trio of solid six-figure sales including a $400,000 chart topper, Peace.com, via Sedo. James Booth at DomainBooth.com provided an impressive follow-up, ringing the six-figure bell twice with a pair of single digit .io domains - 7.io at $150,000 and 0.io at $125,000.

Sedo and DomainBooth wound up having the entire first five all to themselves with Sedo adding $74,995 for 13Bet.com and Booth banking $70,000 for Deflect.com. Their hold on the leader board continued with Sedo going on to sweep 13 of 20 entries overall and 

DomainBooth bagging five places. GoDaddy and Afternic finally broke up the two-horse race by taking one spot apiece. Sedo's haul included a $25,000 sale of #12 Brigade.com that the company's newest Premium Domain Broker, Mark Ghoriafi (AKA Mr. Premium), handled on behalf of the seller. 

The .coms started off the new year the same way way they finished the old one - in a dominant position. They piled up 12 chart entries overall. The ccTLDs also had a very strong outing, claiming six spots on the elite list including those two .io blockbusters and a $50,000 sale of #6 (tie) MBA.ai at Sedo. James Booth also added to his already impressive country code haul with a $22,000 sale of #13 (tie) Telehouse.ca. The non .com gTLDs had to settle for two places on the honor roll that came from GoDaddy's $17,750 sale of #17 VHF.org and Afternic's $14,999 sale of #19 TC.law.

One other note. Since this is the first chart of the year it also serves as the Year-to-Date Top Sales Chart, so we have left the 2023 Top 100 Sales Charts in place on our YTD Sales Charts page. When our next sales report comes out February 7, we will move the 2023 Charts to our Domain Sales Archive (where the top 100 charts from all previous years also reside) and replace them on the YTD Charts Page with 2024's first Year to Date Charts.

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. Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Country Codes

The ccTLDs entered 2024 with guns blazing on the way to placing a half dozen sales on the all extension Top 20 Chart you saw above. DomainBooth's two six-figure .io sales rode highest in the saddle on their way to the top spots on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart.

The biggest sales in this category that you haven't seen yet came from Sedo where #7 BDUpload.in sold for $9,810 and #8 GJ.co.uk attracted $9,415. In that latter sale, Sedo's Mark Ghoriati served as the buyer's broker this time and successfully landed the domain for his client. 

Sedo, always dominant in the ccTLD category, went on to sweep 16 of the 20 chart entries. The only exceptions came from James Booth's stellar performance (taking three of the top five ccTLD sales) and DomainLore.uk's claim to the final position with their $4,191 sale of SevenOaks.co.uk.

.IO won a tight TLD race with five chart entries followed by Germany's .de and France's .fr with three each. Here is how the ccTLDs stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, January 21, 2024:

Non .com gTLDs

The Non .com gTLDs were led by a trio of five-figure sales, two of which made the all extension leader board you saw above. GoDaddy's $17,750 sale of VHF.org set the pace, followed by TC.law ($14,999 via Afternic) and Pay.express ($10,900 at Sedo). The first five on our latest bi-weekly Non .com TLD Top 20 Sales Chart was rounded out by Afternic's $8,000 sale of QR.law and Namecheap's $6,500 sale of Institute.art.

.Org scored an easy win in the TLD race by piling up seven chart entries. .Net and .law were next with three spots each. Here is how all of the non .com gTLD leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, January 21, 2024:
