This is the weekly domain sales report (using NameBio listed data) for the 7 day period from Feb 13–19, 2019.
The daily summaries section below summarizes each day in the format date, number of sales, average price, median price, number of sales at or above $1000, and the total sales volume. It is followed by a listing of about a dozen domain names that attracted our attention. In some cases other brief comments are included. The data is based only on those sales of $100 and more.
Weekly Statistics
During the past week the number of sales per day ranged from 167 to 274. There were 200 or more sales on 5 of the 7 days in the reporting period.
The highest average daily price was $721. The lowest average daily sale price was $452.
The median daily sale price, a better measure of prices an individual investor is likely to encounter, ranged from $214 to $280.

Discussion
In the daily reports I kept the information as reflected in that daily report. Some sales are added to the database after the deadline and therefore do not appear. Note that in these reports I give the number of sales and sales volume for those sales of $100 or more. Traditionally this was all that was available. Note that NameBio now give in their daily market reports a sales volume that also includes the sales under $100, explaining the difference from the values reported here.
Keep in mind that only certain venues report sales to NameBio. These venues represent a mix of wholesale (domain investor to domain investor) and retail (domain investor to end user) sales. The median sales price should be interpreted within that understanding. In my introductory guide to using NameBio I provide additional details on what sales are included in the database.
This was a fairly quiet week sales wise without any truly large sales added to the database. As is normally the case sales in .com dominated although interestingly on 3 of the days in the week the highest sale was in some other extension. Except for new (video) this was a quiet week for new extension sales.
I urge you to read the full Daily Market Reports at NameBio. I would like to thank Michael and others at NameBio that make this valuable database freely available to the domain community. We have based the statistics reported here on only sales of value $100 and more, although the NameBio subscription plans allow you to study sales below the $100 price point.
Should you want to get my reflections on the NameBio reported sales on a daily basis follow me on Twitter @AGreatDomain. In case you missed the preceding weekly report it is here. I hope to produce a few more weekly reports over the next few days to get caught up.
