Dominance of .Com and .AI at the High End of the Domain Market Made Crystal Clear On Our Latest Sales Chart

With sales in the domain aftermarket riding a summer-long hot streak, solid sales continue to be posted across a wide swath of TLDs. However, if you are looking at the high end of the market as reflected by our bi-weekly all-extension Top 20 Sales Chart, it's a different story. Every position on the elite list except one is either a .com or a .ai domain (and the lone exception is the last name on the honor roll).

Since Sedo's reporting staff went on holiday shortly after our last report, we delayed this one for a week. With their return we have three weeks worth of data from them ro ahre now. That made this the biggest batch of

data we've had in a single report this year but one thing remained the same -  .com and .ai left little room at the Top 20 Inn for other TLDs. 

.AI piled up 11 chart entries overall, putting .com, at first glance, in an uncommon runner up position. However you will quickly notice that the .coms took the top three spots in a row and 6 of the first 8 to easily win the dollar volume race. No matter how you slice it, both continue to hold winning hands.

The hit parade was led by the year's latest seven-figure sale - ZH.com at $1 million in a deal closed by Sedo Senior Sales Brokerage Consultant Dave Evanson that we disclosed in a special report on August 1st. The .coms completed a powerful 1-2 punch with a $701,000 sale of Arch.com that Andrew Allemann at Domain Name Wire just reported Tuesday (August 12). Both of those sales settled into the top 10 on our YTD Top 100 Sales Chart

The #3 sale on our latest Top 20 leader board - SmartChoice.com at $155,000 - was also a notable one because of its great back story. Harvey Kaplan, who has been in the domain investing game since 1999 made that sale through Afternic. Harvey said on X.com "We registered this domain in March of 2000 a split second after it was deleted by Network Solutions - before drop services or domain auctions existed! Always knew it was a good domain and would eventually sell!" The say "patience is a virtue" and  Harvey proved it can pay pretty darn well too.

The .AI domains began their run with #4 Bind.ai at $120,000 and #5 Tech.ai at $110,000 - both being posted at Namecheap's Spaceship SellerHub that has become the citadel of high end .ai sales. In fact they accounted for every one of the 11 biggest .ai sales made public since our last report.

As for that one domain on the Chart that wasn't a .com or a .ai - that was Sedo's $43,405 sale of #20 Yes.fi (.fi is Finland's ccTLD). Sedo's roster also included a six-figure .com sale - #6 Siam.com at $100,000.

Keep in mind that these are the highest value cash only sales that have been reported to us in the past two weeks. 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 dominant as .ai looked on the all extension leader board the effect was amplified even further on our latest Country Code Top 20 Sales Chart. With .com out of this category, .ai ran rampant, sweeping the first 11 entries in a a row and 15 of 20 places overall. Spaceship SellerHub was just as dominant as a .ai sales platform as they accounted for 12 of the 15 charted .ai sales.

Sedo had the largest non .ai sale with #12 Yes.fi at $43,495, followed by Tom Gajic's $19,568 (AUD 30,000) sale of #16 HouseAndLand.con.au in a private transaction. Here is how the top ccTLDs lined up  for the two weeks ending Sunday, July 20, 2025:
