I certainly would hesitate to register any without the .com being taken. At the same time, there are combinations of words that make the domain names more visually appealing with certain new extensions.
As for the ones I registered, all the .com are taken and most are developed in several other extensions/variations. Some particular ones are getting frequent returning visits from regions where I know established businesses are active.
I do not expect any fast sales, nor any crazy pricetags. It's a gamble, but you can gamble wisely, or foolish.
Hi there
@BrandsOpen...i see from your profile you're from Norway and even though you're not on the Baltic Sea, I just bought Baltic.homes a few days ago. Thanks for your input. It's interesting that someone already started an online marketplace for his/her .homes domains(kudos to them!) Actually three of the sixty eight .homes names on their site I had on a list to possibly buy just a week ago....Hudson, Coronado, and GreatNeck,homes, but he/she beat me to the punch
That's OK, but along the same thinking, i just picked up Sonoma.homes and Silicon.homes.
My marketing plans for
.homes and similar extensions differ greatly from a typical domainer. I'm not in this business to sit on my names forever, and hope and pray that some realtor or builder or home contractor accidentally finds me. I'll be in Vegas sharing my "crappy" names and my "crappy" ideas for anyone that will listen. I've sold a few things in my life, and selling domains in no different
Thanks again for your input and I hope to get to Norway someday. I live in what is called the "GreatNeck" corridor of Virginia Beach where there's probably about 8,000 homes, and then there's that many homes or more in GreatNeck, NY. I would think a realtor or two from either area would just love to own the domain GreatNeck.homes....but do they even know about it???
Finally, the last time I was in Vegas on business about 15-20 years ago I played black jack, and sadly I lost. There have been a few times I've won at black jack, but I'd much prefer to put my money down on Sonoma.homes and Silicon.homes. What do you think?
