Geo-targeted domain names are perfect for serving the real estate industry. There are a number of relevant keywords that constitute the most popular, and effective, search phrases. They are:

• Real Estate
• Homes
• Condos
• Apartments
• Properties
• Property
• MLS
• Rentals
• Foreclosures

City specific real estate domains are among the best choices for those working in the real estate industry. For example, “Miami Real Estate” is one of the most utilized, widely searched phrases for obvious reasons. Closely associated are “Miami Condos“. Performing a basic Yahoo or Google search produces a multitude of companies and realtors advertising under these search phrases.

All of these variations on the real estate theme make good investment and development opportunities. Experimenting with search engine results should give you a clear indication as to which geographical areas are drawing the most advertisers. But don’t overlook some of the less populated areas too, which are often not yet registered.

This map, published by Zillow, shows how home values have recently changed in some of the larger metropolitan areas across the United States. Many of the “hot market” regions are now suffering home value drops. Nonetheless, buyers and sellers are in the market constantly looking for great opportunities. And the real estate industry is a 24/7 non-stop arena representing trillions of dollars in equity investment.

For domainers, active business markets suggest excellent premium domain investments & acquisitions. I recently picked up the premium name: Condos.biz, knowing that a nice quality real estate business domain will only appreciate in value. I may develop Condos.biz in due time (time being the operative word). Domain portfolio development … is a great outlet! Happy hunting.
