What’s happening to aftermarket domain name inquiries in the wake of the pandemic and asset market plunge?

For most people, it’s hard to look at their portfolio and draw any conclusions. But domain name sales platform Efty has a sizable dataset to start drawing some conclusions.

Efty states that inquiries were down 14.5% in March compared to February. It notes that traffic to for-sale landing pages was up, though; it was up 37% month-over-month. The firm thinks this is since more of our daily lives have shifted online. It notes that internet usage is up 50% in some parts of the world.
