Solid Domain Sales Fill DNJ's New Chart But For the 1st Time This Summer None Reached 7 Figures 

The unprecedented string of 7-figure domain sales topping our bi-weekly Top 20 Domain Sales Chart finally comes to an end this week. For the past seven consecutive reports, stretching back to May, there has been at least one $1 million+ sale at the top of the leader board (there were two in our previous report September 1). The fact that the past two weeks included one of America's biggest annual holidays - the extended Labor Day weekend - may have slowed business a bit at the highest end of the market (where deals tend to be the most complicated) but when you look at all of the solid sales reported below, it is clear that the market is continuing to barrel forward with a full head of steam.

Veteran domain investor/broker Andy Booth got the party started this time out, claiming the top spot on the all extension elite list with his $175,000 sale of SmartWallet.com. A pair of ccTLD sales at Sedo followed - Invest.ae at $75,000 and GP.de at $70,210. The country code domains had one of their best fortnights of the year, piling up nine chart entries overall, including four in the top ten. Sedo, who has always dominated the ccTLD aftermarket, accounted for all but two of those country code sales. Those two went to Mark Ghoriafi at MrPremium.com for his $30,000 sale of #12 Tree.io and an $18,500 sale of #20 Canyon.io. An interesting thing about that Tree.io sale is that the seller had just picked the name up for $6,800 in June via Sedo, giving them a terrific return on their 90-day investment.

The .coms still took the most places overall with 10, including two that joined SmartWallet.com in the first five. Those were Sedo's sales of #4 Deity.com at $60,000 and #5 Homesome.com at $59,999. Sedo, who swept 16 entries overall, accounted for all of the .com sales but one. The exception was the $35,000 sale of #11 CAPM.com made by Logan Flatt at Media Code LLC.

The non .com gTLDs were limited to a single chart entry, also handled by Sedo. That was a $27,888 sale of #13 Flip.xyz.

Here is how all of the sales leaders stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, September 12, 2021:

Keep in mind that these are the highest value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the past week. 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. Our procedure for verifying the accuracy of domain sales reports is available here.

Country Codes

As I noted at the top, ccTLD fans had a lot to be happy about over the past two weeks. The top three sales in this category generated almost $250,000 between them and eleven of the chart entries reached five figures. Sedo's sales of Invest.ae at $75,000 and GP.de at $70,210 led the way on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart

Sedo and MrPremium.com wound up monopolizing the leader board, with Sedo taking 19 of the 21 entries (the extra spot resulting from a tie for the final position) and MrPremium.com claiming the other two with a pair of solid .io sales - #5 Tree.io at $30,000 and #9 Canyon.io at $18,500

Germany's .de won the TLD race with six chart entries but it was still a very diverse week with 11 different TLDs represented on the honor roll. Here is how the top ccTLD sales stacked up for the two weeks ending Sunday, Sept. 12, 2021:
