.HOMES re-released

[Name Trader]

I received in a Uni Newsletter that .HOMES has been released without restrictions. Did anyone else see that and try to register any domains. It was tough going. Most were already taken or very premium prices from the registry. I did manage to get OFFSHORE and LAKESIDE for discounted reg fee

Whilst I was searching. I found RETAIL.DOMAINS available, so took that too

was wondering if someone can validate what I said above?

She's an OG investor with multiple sales under her belt that will never be reported. Her site is to help add value to her .homes portfolio for prospective leads.

thanks for responding!
What does OG mean?
And where does she list her .homes portfolio?

So the ones on folio.homes are not her domain names?
Like REMAX.homes or Century21.homes they are really owned by the Realty companies or she owns them and just forwarding to the Realty companies.

That's the part I'm confused as I'm trying to gauge true adoption of .homes in the industry.

Her domains forward to this website with an "available" banner.

No, they aren't hers. She's simply providing use cases.

My view is, meh. Used to have one or two, but this kind of extension won't jive with anything more than a just few key pairings. At least they got the renewals right anyways.

New G's in plural extensions are tricky waters, beware. Even more so with something as boring as .homes. A buyer has options in .property, .realty and probably even others which are similar in idea so unless it's a perfect match to something like "lakeside", "beachfront" or "country" etc along with an attractive aftermarket price, the buyer will likely need to be out of options to be convinced. Too easy to choose a dot-com over it.

More of a utility extension than a mass appeal one. These are the ones to get in early on if anything.

Thanks for clarifying, now I understand.
At least it's nice to see some true use cases of adoption.

Agreed, at least the reg/renewal fee is standard (low).
That's why I only regged 3: agent, owner, and coming.

These have applicable and broad usage in real estate, and applies to "homes".
I plan to develop them out as real estate services, home listings, and directories.

.Property is too long and .realty too specific.
And I would never be afford these 3 names in .com

As promised, I have built out an initial website for owner dot homes and agent dot homes.
Appreciate any feedback, ideas, partnerships, etc.
