Really interesting discussion about domain age as it relates to price.
I've run some numbers from Flippa to better understand the correlations between different attributes & final sale price. And I've found some really interesting stuff.
Domains 1-15 years old or so sell as you'd expect. After that the price starts taking off exponentially! This is indeed an enormous lagging indicator of value.
As expected, .com's are the most valuable, followed by .io's (makes sense given the high income demographics of .io buyers & sellers). Somewhat unexpectedly, .orgs & .nets are about the same, with .co's coming in last (I always dislked .co's personally)
I'll be sharing more info like this in an upcoming newsletter.
Hey Stefan, very cool to see. What we dislike about .co is the email leakage to .com. With domain age, it may be the fact that the best domains got registered first.

First, character length: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d5s8wpry18sg0hk/Avg%20Price%20of%20Domain%20vs%20Character%20Length.png?dl=0
As you can see, domains with character length under 10 characters sell for 3-4x what domains over 15 characters sell for.
However, this is nothing compared to age. Check this out:

Finally, I pulled some numbers on TLD:

Yeah, this is almost certainly the case. The older domains are higher quality .com's which are scooped up by bigger players and go for far more.
Agree on the .co's - it's my least favorite TLD.
The one to watch is .club - lot of activity and interest, and you can scoop them up cheap right now.
Yeah I have a couple of .club myself, and of course investors.club was one of the most expensive buys! [RP]
