Domain
brokerage & consulting firm
GGRG.com
has released their 11th consecutive
quarterly report on aftermarket
sales of "liquid
domains." GGRG defines
liquid domains as being very
short .com domains consisting
of all letters (L) or all numbers
(N), as well as 3-character (C)
.coms that have a combination of
letters and numbers. GGRG terms
these categories "liquid"
domains because they are relatively
easy to sell at prevailing market
rates. The latest report covers
sales reported in the final
quarter of 2018.
For
many the most surprising result from
4Q-2018 will be seeing that
4-letter .com domains reached
their highest total for a
single quarter since the reports
began with $8.6 million in
Escrow.com transactions recorded for
that category. Pricing for that
group has been steadily softening
for some time now but it's possible
the lower prices have started to
attract bargain shoppers who see a
long term opportunity. The next highest
group, based on Escrow.com sales volume,
went to the ever popular 3-letter
.coms with almost $5 million in
transactions, followed by the 4-number
.coms at $2.7 million
(that is one of the strongest
quarters that group has had since
GGRG started tracking).

Looking
ahead to how the quarter we are
currently in (Q1-2019) is likely to
finish, the GGRG report noted,
"Q1 is normally a slow
quarter for Liquid Domains due
to the reduced activity from China
caused by the Chinese New Year.
Unless there are large end user
transactions, we forecast a slow
beginning to 2019." There
is much more data (and charts)
