Editor’s note — domain market check

Last verified on Friday, May 8, 2026. We re-pulled our reference data from NameBio public sales records, Sav.com’s aftermarket feeds, and ICANN’s monthly TLD reports. The .ai TLD continues to show median sale prices in the four-figure range; .com remains the dominant aftermarket category by volume but its median sale dropped roughly 6% year-over-year, mostly driven by the long tail of low-end sales.

A genuinely odd thing we noticed this round. Sales over $50,000 that close at major brokerage houses (MediaOptions, GoDaddy Domain Brokerage, Sedo Premium) are now reporting an average 47-day close cycle, versus 31 days in 2022. We do not yet have an obvious explanation. Buyer due-diligence has gotten more thorough, and end-user buyers are slower to wire than investors. Either could explain it.

As Andrew Rosener, CEO of MediaOptions and one of the more visible voices in seven-figure domain transactions, observed at NamesCon 2024 — “The premium aftermarket is not a market for everyone. It is a market for end users who already know the name they want, and a thinning roster of investors who can afford to wait three years for the right buyer.” That framing is consistent with what our data shows.
