domain Valuation request for a portfolio of domains - homecareadvisory.com

[Fanugi]

Hello,

I hope this post finds everyone well and I would sincerely appreciate any input!

I recently established a Portfolio of 9 domains geared towards serving the Elder Care Market and did so with one particular buyer in mind who decided not to move forward. However, throughout the process, I think I have secured some relatively valuable names - especially to the right party.

Recently, one of the domain resellers (I would rather not say who as the offer is still pending) has made an offer in the low XXX range for the Portfolio.

The thing is, although I am still learning, in looking at a couple valuation factors and from my perspective, I think that the entire portfolio is worth AT LEAST a $1,000 and that this is just too lowball of a number.

Anyway, here are the names and why I think they are worth a lot more than a low XXX offer:

HomeCareAdvisory.com
Similar names have sold for thousands. Specifically, HomeCareNetwork.com which sold for $3,288 and HomeCareGiver.com which sold for $5,200.


ElderCareReferrals.com
A related / similar name, ElderCareNetwork.com, recently sold for $3,000 through Afternic in February of 2012.

Another related / similar name, ElderCareAgencies.com, sold for $1,000 through Moniker in June of 2007.

Another related / similar name, ElderCarePlanning.com, sold for $1,000 through Sedo in July of 2006.

The most closely related name currently available for sale is HomeCareReferrals.com which is listed with GoDaddy for $2,588.


LongTermFacility.com
A related / similar name, LongTermCareFacility.com, sold for $2,166 through Afternic in April of 2008.

This domain has exceptional search engine potential as the exact keyword phrase that this domain is composed of, "Long Term Facility", is reported by Google to receive 27,100 Monthly Global Searches and 18,100 Monthly Local Searches!


SeniorHomeProviders.com
The most closely related domain name currently for sale, AssistedLivingProviders.com, is listed at $1,000 through Godaddy.

This is a very brand-able domain name with strong commercial and search engine potential.

It seems likely that a start-up company would want this name for their business at some point making it a wise investment.


GeriatricHousing.com
A short and brand-able domain with strong commercial potential.


FindSeniorsHomes.com
A related / similar domain, CareHomesFinder.com, sold for $4,025 through Sedo in November of 2010.

This is yet another highly brand-able domain name with strong commercial and search engine potential. It also seems likely that a start-up company would want this name for their business at some point.


AlzheimersAdvisory.com
Another short and brand-able domain with strong commercial potential.


SeniorHomeFacilities.com
This domain also has exceptional search engine potential as the exact keyword phrase that this domain is composed of, "Senior Home Facilities", is reported by Google to receive 3,600 Monthly Global Searches and 2,400 Monthly Local Searches!

There is HIGH competition for this keyword phrase according to Google indicating that the people who search for this exact phrase are hot prospects / buyers!


RetirementHousingCommunities.com.
Yet another domain with exceptional search engine potential, the exact keyword phrase that this domain is composed of, "Retirement Housing Communities", is reported by Google to receive 49,500 Monthly Global Searches and 27,100 Monthly Local Searches!

There is also HIGH competition for this keyword phrase according to Google indicating that the people who search for this exact phrase are hot prospects / buyers!


Anyway, if you are still with me, thanks for taking the time to read this entire post! I feel strongly that an offer in the four figure range would come in for AT LEAST one of these domains but, quite frankly, I could use the money now so am considering how I might sell them in the short term for something other than the figure I am now looking at.

As mentioned, I am looking for closer to $1K.

Does anyone know of any companies that make reasonable offers and close promptly?

Any thoughts on my valuations and in general would also be helpful and appreciated!

Thanks again!

Take the offer if it's in the $3XX-$4XX range.

Another related / similar name, ElderCarePlanning.com, sold for $1,000 through Sedo in July of 2006.

These names are not the same caliber as the others you have compared to. :imho:

The most closely related name currently available for sale is HomeCareReferrals.com which is listed with GoDaddy for $2,588.

Asking prices are arbitrary numbers, which hold no meaning.

LongTermFacility.com
A related / similar name, LongTermCareFacility.com, sold for $2,166 through Afternic in April of 2008.

This domain has exceptional search engine potential as the exact keyword phrase that this domain is composed of, "Long Term Facility", is reported by Google to receive 27,100 Monthly Global Searches and 18,100 Monthly Local Searches!

Those numbers are low for broad matches. Most look at exact monthly searches and unfortunately these keywords only get 110/mo.

SeniorHomeProviders.com
The most closely related domain name currently for sale, AssistedLivingProviders.com, is listed at $1,000 through Godaddy.

This is a very brand-able domain name with strong commercial and search engine potential.

It seems likely that a start-up company would want this name for their business at some point making it a wise investment.

Once again, asking prices mean nothing.

GeriatricHousing.com
A short and brand-able domain with strong commercial potential.


FindSeniorsHomes.com
A related / similar domain, CareHomesFinder.com, sold for $4,025 through Sedo in November of 2010.

This is yet another highly brand-able domain name with strong commercial and search engine potential. It also seems likely that a start-up company would want this name for their business at some point.

AlzheimersAdvisory.com
Another short and brand-able domain with strong commercial potential.

"Advisory" is a terrible keyword choice and is not brandable imo. Not only does it not make sense, it just sounds negative.

SeniorHomeFacilities.com
This domain also has exceptional search engine potential as the exact keyword phrase that this domain is composed of, "Senior Home Facilities", is reported by Google to receive 3,600 Monthly Global Searches and 2,400 Monthly Local Searches!


There is HIGH competition for this keyword phrase according to Google indicating that the people who search for this exact phrase are hot prospects / buyers!

Once again, exact matches are what most look at and this recieves <10/mo.

RetirementHousingCommunities.com.
Yet another domain with exceptional search engine potential, the exact keyword phrase that this domain is composed of, "Retirement Housing Communities", is reported by Google to receive 49,500 Monthly Global Searches and 27,100 Monthly Local Searches!

Unfortunately, I do not see much value in this portfolio. I agree with speaker. You should take the offer.

Good Luck and Welcome to NamePros

I appreciate your insight.

However, I have to say that you skewed the data towards the negative in every case!

While focusing solely on the negative, you omitted these two points:

FindSeniorsHomes.com
A related / similar domain, CareHomesFinder.com, sold for $4,025 through Sedo in November of 2010.


LongTermFacility.com
A related / similar name, LongTermCareFacility.com, sold for $2,166 through Afternic in April of 2008.

I think these two names would be just as valuable to the right party.

Also, what is the difference between a broad match and an exact match?

I am going by Google Adwords Keyword Tool and did not see any mention of exact matches...only "global monthly" and "local monthly."

The traffic I was referencing was for the exact keyword phrase that those names are composed of...

Sorry if I am being defensive but I am seeing more value here than you gentleman...

Fanugi,
Welcome to NamePros!!!
You might want to introduce yourself at the Welcome Center located HERE

As to the value of your Port, I have to agree with SK1990. He has explained it exactly as I see it.

As a dev'd out group, I could see where it has posibilities, but for D2D sales, the market is too weak atm.

Take the offer or dev them yourself.

Good Luck, and again, Welcome to NP!!!

Peace,
Cyberian

FindSeniorsHomes.com
A related / similar domain, CareHomesFinder.com, sold for $4,025 through Sedo in November of 2010.

LongTermFacility.com
A related / similar name, LongTermCareFacility.com, sold for $2,166 through Afternic in April of 2008.

I think these two names would be just as valuable to the right party.

Those sales weren't very recent though and god knows why somebody thought it was a good idea to pay 4k for carehomesfinder.com (which doesn't exist as a site anymore).

As for longtermfacility vs longtermcarefacility, that sale was 4 years ago and longtermcarefacility is more specific than longtermfacility, which could be about anything. This makes it worth less (I think).

Also, what is the difference between a broad match and an exact match?

I am going by Google Adwords Keyword Tool and did not see any mention of exact matches...only "global monthly" and "local monthly."

You can set the google keyword tool to exact matches on the left-most side of the screen, under "match types".
The difference between broad and exact is that exact only takes the words you've typed in. Broad shows the number of searches that contained the words.
So if you use the world "bananas" in a broad search, you get the total searches which include anything from "growing bananas" to "this homework is driving me bananas", which is why exact searches are much more important.

I do hope you well but if this post is how your logic goes, then I'll suggest you get outta this industry ASAP.

Coming from the guy who registered mentallyretarded.com, I'll take that as a complement ;]

Instead of throwing stones, why don't you be a little more solution-focused and tell me where my logic is flawed?

Also, as noted, that portfolio sold so it can't be that bad...

 

[Archangel]

I never registered it. It was bought as a joke.

Anyway, I did see potential in your portfolio so I'm not surprised it sold. I was merely referring to your logic as to what makes a domain of value. Like you said though: You sold them & that's all that matters
