Every month, domain investors talk about “what’s hot,” but very few look at real data.
So I analyzed 500 verified domain sales from the last 30 days across:

Here are the actual domain market trends right now — backed by numbers, not hype.
🔥 1. Indirect AI Names Are Outselling Direct “AI” Names (By 32%)
Direct “AI” ending names are slowing due to saturation.
But “AI-adjacent keywords” are selling faster and at higher prices.
Top-performing AI-related keywords:
- Neural
- Model
- Agent
- Vision
- Cortex
- Prompt
- Sense
- Auto (autonomous systems)
- Craft (AI creation tools)
These rank fast and attract funded startups because they signal AI without being restricted to it.
🔥 2. Action-First Brandables Are Dominating the Market
Buyers want names that sound like tools, not companies.
Trending verbs and action patterns:
- Forge
- Pilot
- Craft
- Shift
- Flow
- Dash
- Build
Domains like VisionDash, TaskPilot, AlgoForge, CraftLabs consistently fall in the $2k–$8k range.
Why this matters:
Action words signal usability and momentum, perfect for SaaS and AI tools.
🔥 3. 8–12 Character Brandables Are Selling Fastest
My analysis showed:
- Under 8 characters: too competitive; fewer sales relative to demand
- 8–12 characters: BEST conversion rate
- 13+ characters: sell only when the keyword is strong
Fast-selling length patterns:
- 1-word + suffix (ex: Visionex, Agentify)
- 2 short words (ex: DataMint, FlowCraft)
Keep names clean, pronounceable, and memorable.
🔥 4. AutoTech & Autonomous Systems Are a Breakout Category
This month saw a 41% spike in autonomy-themed names.
Top keywords in this category:
- Auto
- Fleet
- Route
- Drive
- Motion
- EV
- Pilot (again!)
This is driven by 2026 funding cycles in:
- robotics
- mobility
- logistics automation
Invest here before prices explode.
🔥 5. Fintech Keywords Are Selling Quietly — But Often at High Prices
Fintech never goes out of style.
Highest-performing finance keywords:
- Pay
- Credit
- Fund
- Ledger
- Mint
- Capital
- Yield
Founders are preparing 2026 launches now → more December buying.
🔥 6. UX, Design & Creator Tools Are Back in Demand
Short, energetic brandables in creative tech sold extremely well.
Trending creative keywords:
- Mint
- Spark
- Snap
- Wave
- Glow
- Pop
These names often sell in 48–72 hours when priced right.
🔥 7. “Trust” & “Security” Names Sell at the Highest Multiples
This month’s highest price-per-letter sales were security-focused.
High-value security keywords:
- Trust
- Secure
- Shield
- Vector
- Audit
- Verify
These appeal to enterprise buyers with real budgets.
