Where do you see these sales? As I search there are no sales recorded for the .homes extension in either NameBio or DNPric.es. Please share the source for your statement
@biggie Thank you!
lol
you won't find it there, cuz registries don't report them
you may, if noticed, see what others have paid, above regular registration price, to acquire coveted keywords in that and other new extensions.
you may also see it in the 'renewal price'.
you prolly won't see it, when more than one person backorders same name in pre-land rush, and the registry auctions the name.
what you have come to think as the 'regular' release process, is irregular compared to the past.
as evident by your post below:
It is important to realize the difference between the initial release of .homes and this one. Initially...
".Homes domain names will be made exclusively available to registrants that provide products, services or information that benefit the residential real estate industry. All registrants will be validated by the Registry."
(from
this post)
i.e. domain investors were specifically barred from investing in .homes until less than two months ago when there was a rerelease. It is virtually unheard of to have resales in the first 2 months. We simply don't know how .homes will do because it is too soon.

.homes was intentionally made exclusive, to build demand and hype.
it's the same thing as 'reserving', except they use 'exclusive' to give different appeal.
if.... you tell a child they can't have something they want, and make them wait for it.
surely they will gobble it up when you give it to them.
basic psychology in use
the release of other extensions have used same or similar 'hold' techniques to build desire...
and the investors stance is based on,
nobody knows what will happen in the future
imo...
