Domain Valuation Comparisons (Comps)

In real estate, comparable sales or comparables (comps) are used to determine the value and listing price of property or a home. A comp simply compares other similar homes that have been sold to the home that is being valued in the same area.

Specific premium domain names are valued in a similar manner, such as domain names for a product, a company, or an industry. They are compared to other similar domain names that have been sold in the past.
