HomeLoanCalculator.com.au

This domain is getting some attention tonight with bids of already $6,500.

It's a hot sector, everyone wants a piece of it. High competition for the kwords on Google, 74K exact searches locally per month. There's value there.

Considering stampdutycalculator .com.au went for 14K I can see this one going high as well, if the full pockets are around.

Would suggest well above the 14K.

Yeah I notice comm bank is targeting this one quite heavily.

It has great exacts, phrases, CPC, comp, potential - I wouldn't be surprised if it goes for $20,000+

I'd consider it to be somewhat of a category killing domain too given that it has more exact searches than [loan calculator] which might help it attract an additional premium.

On a side note, would it be inappropriate to also mention that I know the owner of the following related domains is very negotiable:

mortgageloancalculator.com.au - NF Listing
howmuchcaniborrowcalculator.com.au - NF Listing
interestonlyloancalculator.com.au - NF Listing
lineofcreditcalculator.com.au - NF Listing

 

[James]

already see this domain at over $12,000+

 

[zhenjie]

A very nice result. A sad day for whoever let it go.

 

[geodomains]

I'm the highest bidder on DomainWatch at .............wait for it...........$50

They have no other bids on any domains, so surely I'll get it if they point all their resources to snap it for me

The buyers of this domain have just spent millions of dollars launching 1300 Home Loan including paying over 1 million bucks for the telephone number phoneword. They promise their brokers leads so this will work well for them.

I like how at least 6 bidders thought it was worth over 10k and 3 thought it was worth over 25k.

It got basically $1 per monthly exact searcher (33,100, $33,001).

You can almost hear all of the calculator domain owners going ka ching!

 

[nina]

Well, it certainly went for a bit more than I thought it would go for.. 33,000.

 

[soj]

It's just great for our marketplace to see sales like this.

Congratulations to the buyer - and congrats to Netfleet for snapping it.

Seems a private equity firm picked it up: http://auracapital.com.au

Isn't 1300 Home Loan too long to be a phone word?
I thought it was only 6 digits after the 1300. Any idea how that works?

Also they advertise on their website 1300 Home Loan, and 1300 466 356 (1300 Hom eLo - the 'an' is dropped).
So maybe the 1300 system ignores any number entered after the 6th?!

[domainlover]

yeah i believe it ignore the extra digits when typed

Domain owners everywhere should be salivating - as you would think this sort of sale should hit hit the mainstream online media sources and should help shine the spotlight on the entire industry.

It is a very strong name, not sure the sale is really going to get anyone salivating or lots of media attention. My "gut feel" was a higher sale than this. Then again I don't know much about the business model, just looking at the metrics.

 

[James]

I guess the first one to pick up the news would be the likes of Smart Company, then other media outlets may pick it up.

Only problem is its not a huge brand buying the domain like Comm Bank, they can spin it into a bigger story if a big brand picks it up as with Hardware.com.au

I have always been dubious about the benefit of these 1300 numbers, has anyone here had any notable benefit from these types phone numbers in promoting a website or business ?

 

[acheeva]

imo 1300 numbers are an absolute necessity if you have a national database; useless (if not detrimental) otherwise

13 numbers are expensive at around $1.5k per month
