Editor's Note: This report, issued October 16, 2024, was slightly revised October 17 when we learned that the sale of MortgageBroker.com.au, originally charted at $295,000, was made in Australian dollars rather than US dollars. For consistency, all sales in our reports are ranked by USD amounts.  At the time of this writing AUD $295,000 equaled USD $198,018, so the text and chart position for that sale has been updated to reflect that.

A Quartet of Six-Figure Domain Sales Led by a $289,000 .Com Top Our Latest Chart

The unwelcome arrival of Hurricane Milton in Florida's Tampa Bay area (where we are based) brought things to a standstill here last week. The monster storm rolled in Wednesday night (Oct. 9) when we normally would have been putting out this bi-weekly sales report. While Milton left a path of destruction throughout central Florida, we were very fortunate to escape the damage and flooding that you've no doubt seen and read about elsewhere. That was primarily due to the storm coming ashore a little further down the coast than originally expected.

Even with the eye about 60 miles south  of us, we experienced the strongest winds we've ever been in. That left a lot of

broken tree limbs and debris to clean up but that was nothing compared to the impact on millions of other Floridians. Our hearts go out to them, especially those who no longer have a home to go back to this week. 

Now that we are up and running let's get back to the unfinished business.  This report will cover all of the notable sales that came in since our last report on September 25. Saw.com and GoDaddy brokers teamed up to sell the #1 domain on our latest all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart. That was Trill.com at $289,000. We are especially happy to have that one happen for our long-time friend and Saw.com Founder Jeff Gabriel this week because he was also affected by Hurricane Milton and his house was much closer to the eye than hours. With the original track indicating the storm would go right over Jeff's house, he wisely evacuated his family and didn't know what he would find when he got back. It was a huge relief to hear the late track shift also saved his home from serious damage.

The #2 sale on the new chart also happens to be the 2nd biggest publicly reported non .com gTLD  sale of the year to date. That is Andy Media's $200,000 sale of Casino.bet through Atom.com. Next up at #3 is the year's 2nd  biggest ccTLD sale to date, MortgageBroker.com.au at AUD $295,000 (USD $198,018). The owners of Money.com.au acquired the domain in a private transaction and now have a new site running on it. The name is obviously a natural fit for them and when you consider what a mortgage costs these days, that looks like a pretty good price for a category defining domain. The quartet of six-figure sales at the top was rounded out by Sedo's solid $129,995 sale of #4 Betex.com.

There is yet another six-figure transaction to tell you about, one that will be charted after an agreed upon payment schedule is completed. That was a $229,000 sale of Cluck.com that Shane Cultra (Domain Shane) and his partner at DSAD.com, Travis McKee, made through Atom.com. Shane said the duo acquired the domain about five years ago for less than $20,000. That's obviously a great ROI on a smart buy made by for two of the brightest (and nicest) guys in the domain business.

Another big story line over the past three weeks was the continuing strength of .AI domains. They piled up seven spots on the latest leader board with a roster led by #6 Travel.ai at $90,000 via Namecheap and Andy Booth's $80,000 sale #7 Convergence.ai. All of those .ai sales helped the ccTLDs sweep 11 chart entries overall.

Here is how all of the leaders stacked up for the three weeks ending Sunday, October 13, 2024

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 had a great run over the past three weeks, posting the highest reported sale, regardless of extension, in MortgaeBroker.com.au at $295,000 and 16 others in five figures. Since we list all five-figure and higher scales at the top of our report, that means you have already seen the first 17 entries on our latest ccTLD Top 20 Sales Chart.

The three you haven't seen yet are a pair put up by Sedo, #18 ABR.fr at $9,810 and #19 Humanize.io at $8,500, and Dynadot's $7,632 sale of #20 Online.co. .AI domains scored an easy win in the TLD race with eight chart entries and .US put up its highest reported sale of the year to date with Saw.com's $17,000 sale of #10 Power.us.

Here is how the all of the top ccTLDs stacked up for the three weeks ending Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024:

Non .com gTLDs

The non.com gTLDs only had four sales reported above four figures but three of those rank among the top 20 sales reported in this category year to date. The leader on our latest Non .com gTLD Top 20 Sales, Casino.bet at $200,000, is the second biggest sale of 2024 for this group and #2 Create.xyz is #8 YTD. #3 Build.app at $74,238 also lands high on the year to date list coming in at #16.

Once you get past #4 BlackHole.xyz at $13,000 there is a sudden drop off to $5,111 for #5 EuroCult.org. However that sale helped the .orgs score a narrow win in the TLD race, taking five chart entries to nip the four put up by .net. Here is how the non .com gTLD leaders stacked up for the three weeks ending Sunday, October 13, 2024:
