Liquid market report: Sales reported by escrow(.)com went up by 89%

Giuseppe Graziano from GGRG partnering with Escrow.com and Estibot’s parent company Intelium and ShortNames.com published the 31st edition of the Liquid Domains Overview (LXDO), which focuses on the 614,928 .com domains we call “liquid”.

The objective of the report is to present key statistics and generate a debate amongst the industry stakeholders about the fair value of such domains.

Starting from this edition, they added the actual list of transactions for the top tier domains (2L, 3L, 2N, 3N, 4N, 2C) and an indicative sample of transactions (top, median and bottom 10 sales) for the lower tiers of the liquid market (4L, 5N, 3C).

Here are some highlights from the Q1 2024 report:

• The volume of sales for liquid domains reported by escrow.com went up by 89% (QoQ) to 18M.
• The most notable categories in terms of sales volume were the 2L and 3L .com domains, reporting sales volumes in the $5.3M and $9.3M range respectively, according to escrow.com.
• There were dips across all QoQ Median Values (-37% for 3Ls, -23% for 4Ls, – 11% for 4Ns, -5% for 5Ns and -13% for 3Cs), meaning that the investor market is likely struggling.
