Key takeaways:
The highest domain name sale of 2018 was a 2-word .com domain name that sold for over $1 million dollars.
8 of the top 10 domain name sales in 2018 were private and the exact sale amount/domain name cannot be shared due to NDA.
58 domain names sold for at least $100,000 or more in 2018. Of those 58, 56 were .com domains.
There was also 1 .net and 1 .co.uk. Of the 58 domains that sold for more than $100K, the average length was 5.8 characters.
1,005 domain name sales were between $10,000 and $99,999 in 2018.
The average length of these domain names was 8 characters.
In 2017, we sold 900 domains in the same price range and the average character length was 8.3 (without the TLD).
This has been a steady rise from 2016, which saw 785 domain sales in the price range and an average character length of 8.59.
There are slight trends toward shorter character length and an increase in volume.
