Currently there are 990,000 .ca domains registered according to cira.ca.
With current registration rates we could hit a million within a couple weeks, or a month.
Meanwhile .ca prices are going up quickly. LL.ca market values are already at the point where few end users can afford the and LLL.ca selling for $100+ on drops.
New record for .ca sales: $41000 for banks.ca at Pool.com today.
Previous high .ca sales:
savings.ca $36,050 2006-03-28 Pool
cruise.ca $33,363 2006-05-23 Pvt Sale
Some argue whether banks.ca is really worth much because there are only 6 banks in Canada, although I think it’s an excellent finance related domain and its value will only rise as the .ca registrations approach 1 million.
Banks.com is a developed site so it’s possible that they had interest in banks.ca as well.
Other reports suggest that the winning bidder was ready to pay as much as $112K!
