    Jerome There are many similarities between domain names and commercial real estate. This domain is like a great piece of commercial land that someone bought early and held waiting for the market to create additional value. And like real estate, a piece of land with the right attributes will hold up better under adverse economic conditions. So basing the value like commercial real estate the amount of "natural" traffic this domain will receive will offset a great deal of the marketing cost and have long-term value to the owner.

    Good comments about the value of localization. The domain RealEstateSearch.com can be easily localized without having to acquire more domains by using subdomains. The example I gave in the original post was Boise.realestatesearch.com which is a subdomain. And is indexed by Google as a separate geo-focused website from realestatesearch.com or any of the other subdomains created from it. To Brad's point this can be even more localized to BoiseCountryClub.realestatesearch.com. A bit cumbersome for direct type-in traffic. But it will be indexed as relevant to Boise, Country Club and real estate. I have used this SEO technique very effectively for multi-market websites like ApartmentFinder.com. See the local market links at the bottom of the page.

    Carmen, You are correct it is only the domain name that is being sold. The domain owner has decided to keep the domain unused so it does not have any "prior use" issues. The page that you see is being displayed by the domain name host as a placeholder and is not indexed by the search engines.
