According to Domain name offer service DomainAgents, domain purchase inquiries are up significantly. DomainAgents’s observation has been supported by strong earnings reports from registrars and they spoke with other marketplaces.
Ryan McKegney, CEO of DomainAgents, talked about the observation, saying,
“Budgets will certainly continue to face pressure as people and businesses continue to adapt. How domain name values move over the next year is difficult to predict, but right now the market seems strong. We’re happy to help however we can, whether you are buying or selling, during this trying time.”
