Below are my summaries from the last seven days (Oct 17-23, 2018) of NameBio market reports. In addition to data reflected in the daily reports, such as number of sales and average price, I compute for each day the median sale price as well as the number of sales at $1000 and above. For many purposes the median is a better indicator of a likely sales price than the average. The health of the industry depends on a steady stream of domain name sales above the $1000 mark, so there is value in seeing how that number changes with time.
I also pick a few names from each day that struck me as particularly interesting or important (or both)! Occasionally these are simply names I found creative or fun, while others are names that I think could be developed into great brands or sites, or domain names from niches that are particularly important. At other times I emphasize names that took a big jump or fall in price from a prior sale. My personal favourite names from this week? SturgeonGeneral (com), carbon (info) and mystical (io).
