Escrow.com released its Q1 2024 Domain Name Report this morning via Google Drive. The report showed some growth in the domain name aftermarket over the same period in 2023. In Q1 2024, $84 million in domain name sales was transacted via Escrow.com. This compares to $79 million in Q1 2023.

In the brief summary of the report, Escrow.com shared that the value of .AI domain name sales increased as well. Escrow.com had $2.6 million in transaction volume involving .AI domain names in the first quarter of this year. Per policy, the company did not share any of the sales, nor did they share the largest sale.

Francois emailed me to let me know about a domain name financing calculator he recently added to Catchy.com that might be of interest to domain investors and domain name buyers. The tool is free to use, and it can be of assistance to investors who want to offer a customized financing deal to acquire a domain name.
