How is the domainmarket? Rock solid, dude!
Since friends, business partner and familiy know that I am a so called domainer, I got the hear this question a lot. How is the domain market?
Bad thing, that we do not have something like the Dow in the domain industry. So I can tell my from my personal perspective and I can cite market reports. So how is the market?
What I can tell from my own perspective, the domain market ist rock solid. We just finished a five figure sale of a .de domain for a client. I cannot tell you that domain, but I can tell you that you would be more than surprised to hear that such a domain sold for mid five figure. I think that people tend to realize that the internet is a great tool to create extra revenue streams especially since their workplace in the crisis may is maybe unsecure.
An other aspect, why i see the market rock solid, is the domain report from sedo.
It shows that especially the .de zone is quite healthy and strong. There have been some undisclosed seven figure deals in the .de zone. Really nice! And the average domain sales price rose.
Have a great day!

Rock solid?? Values have decreased by -50% thanks to the domain parking fiasco… This down market will continue to drag down the values for the rest of 2009 and into 2010 — only domains that are priced in $x,xxx will be ones that can get “moved” around.
