NEW YORK, NY – There is only one thing better than speculation; and that’s fact. Wouldn’t you agree? Let’s look at some historical sales data on .com domain names which have “sold at least twice” and include the words “real estate”, a good commercial interest term. (Data gathered from a list of every .com domain name on record at NameBio which sold more than once in the past 10 years).
Thanks to NameBio, we can see that out of 39 transactions, 20 of them (51%) declined over time, 1 remained neutral, and 18 (46%) of them improved and went up in value.
Have I ever mentioned I really like NameBio for historical sales data?
