domain ApartmentsLondon.com

[Matt Holden]

Just wanted some advice/valuation on a domain I just purchased.

ApartmentsLondon.com

In peoples opinion would I be best to build out a lead gen site on it, get it ranked then sell it. Or as its a highly competitive area just look to flip the domain for the best offer?

Any advice really appreciated.

Thanks

London real estate is a good target even if it is a local market. But London is very huge

The plural "s" hurts it a bit.

thanks for your point, Google seems to refer the plural when typing it.

what are your thoughts in regard to building out a site as apposed to simply selling the domain as it is.

Think when you are typing it... Google doesn't distinguish between singular/plural.

A domain name is worth exactly what a buyer is willing to pay for it, no more and no less.

Or, depending on how much you need the money more than you need the domain.


Said that...

Generally, there are two business model:

- long term investment, it is enough a landing page-> find/wait the right End-user: 5.000-10.000$

- flipping -> reseller/domainer, low price: more less than above...

IMHO, this is an awkward domain name

This has to be the sale of the century. Never has so much been paid for so little.

On to the domain. London apartments would be much better. I think mid-low $xx re-seller value for your domain.

London is the more expernsive real estate market in the world!!

Yes but he's fighting with some big guns for traffic and I can't see the site getting much action in such a massive money market with a 2nd rate domain, which unfortunately this is.

It's the wrong way round. I'm not paying $1m+ for a house through a lead on that site. If I'm a buyer and I've got that cash, I'm going to a trusted major brand name. If you seo and develop the heck out of it I can see $xxx at best.

Just my thoughts...

Yes, not recently sales.

If I were the owmer of the domain, I would manage it at best.

Both of the sales above have apartments after the location. These are not comparable.

I'd also prefer the location in the first place.


But work out with Google

london apartments -> 218.000.000

apartments london -> 307.000.000

These are the data!

A buyer will pay for credibility and a trusted name that makes sense.

Lots of really big sales are made with domains that have no searches in google and vice versa.

appreciate the feedback guys, i certainly feel their is alot more value than $XX. London property is still in a boom and the rental market more so. Plus the short stay overnight rental market for luxury apartments instead of hotels is another potential use for end user and popular in London.

I think i will look to develop out a micro lead gen site to demonstrate potential and seek a flip to end user.

Apartments.London is taken, so you could try approaching the owner to see if he is interested in it.
