All LLL.com domain names worth $2 billion, fresh note states

A fresh note sheds light on the health of the domain name aftermarket for short .com domain names.

Domain name valuation service EstiBot and short domain name brokerage GGRG have released a note on the state of the market for short domain names.

The note calculates the total market value of all domain names within the LL.com, LLL.com, LLLL.com, LN.com/NL.com, NN.com, NNN.com, NNNN.com, NNNNN.com namespaces. It also gives a prognosis on the health and liquidity of each market, as well as the 5th percentile price. The 5th percentile represents two standard deviations below the mean sales price, so this is effectively a floor price for domain names in the category. (The note does not provide median prices.)

Despite having only 676 possible combinations, the note values the total market of LL.com domain names ($2.7 billion) at more than any other category since of their high realized prices.

The note values the 17,576 LLL.com namespace and the 456,976 LLLL.com namespace at the same $2 billion each. This suggests that LLL.com names are worth regarding 25 times as much as LLLL.com names.

Unsurprisingly, the note finds that many short domain name categories have registered sharp price declines this year.
