genuinely brandable and short, plus easy to say
Moderate scoring — fine as a portfolio filler if the aftermarket covers cost, not a chase on its own.
Synthesized from the DQS, aftermarket estimate, registration cost, lifecycle stage, and trademark check on this page. Not financial advice — your portfolio strategy overrides.

Directional only — a gut-check range, not an appraisal. Uses DQS + TLD + length; doesn’t know about comps, trademarks, or brand context. Treat as “worth looking at” vs “skip,” not a bid price.

detroit.news centers on the keyword "detroit", meaning its resale potential tracks the broader commercial interest in that term. Medium-length names in this range (7 chars) trade on their meaning and memorability rather than length alone. It is balanced between vowels and consonants — typical for a pronounceable English-style name. The .news extension leans toward content and publishing use cases rather than SaaS or consumer apps. With zero Wayback coverage, the domain's prior history is effectively a clean slate from a content perspective. DQS 51/100 is the mid-band: the domain has real signals behind it but isn't an obvious standout. Mid-band names reward buyers who understand a specific niche. Redemption-period status means the owner has about 28 days left to reclaim the name. Any outside party can only wait and watch. The keyword component is the honest hook here.

Social handle availability
A 404 on the profile page means the handle is free to claim. Grabbing matching handles at registration time is cheap insurance against impersonation + easier brand rollout later.

The owner can still restore. Drop-catcher pre-orders lock in priority; retail registration will fail until release.

Redemption period. Original owner can still restore for a fee. Typically catchable ~30-35 days after redemption start — not safe to pay a backorder fee yet if the owner looks active.
