GGRG's Latest Quarterly Liquid Market Report for 3Q-2023 Shows Stable Market for Short .Coms

GGRG's latest quarterly Liquid Market Report, covering domain sales from this category reported in the 3rd quarter of 2023, is now out. The report covers a subset of the overall aftermarket - short acronym and numeric domains - that, due to steady demand, tend to have more liquidity than most other domain categories. These are .com domains comprised of 2-4 letters, 2-5 numbers or a combination of 2-3 characters mixing letters and numbers. Taken as whole, that "liquid" universe includes 614,928 .com domains.

In this 29th edition of the report GGRG Founder Giuseppe Graziano compiled $22.4 million worth of sales closed on the Escrow.com platform, reflecting a stable market as it follows a total

of just under $22 million in the previous quarter. Most of the sales that contributed to the 3% uptick from 2Q-2023 came from the 2-letter and 3-letter .com categories. Those accounted for a little over $8 million each in sales. 

Graziano noted, "The 5th percentile (which is a proxy for the liquidation value - a price floor) for 4-letter .com domains held pretty well at $137, while the 5-number liquidation value increased by 25% to $65. Overall, liquid domains are generally holding their value without major changes.
