    These domains aren't worth much to the average domain investor. I don't think anyone would buy them from you - so their value s probably $10, or whatever you paid for them.

    Domains that are considered valuable are usually shorter, keyword rich, and not easy to substitute. For example one of your domains: propertieshomesandmore.com

    If could pick any domain in the world, you would probably pick something like: properties.com ... or homes.com. They are short, and easy to remember. No one really searches for 'properties homes' when they are searching for a place to buy - they would just search for one or the other, or even more likely, something with a geo modifier like 'florida homes'.

    When you add the 'and more' to the end of the domain, it becomes even less valuable than 'propertieshomes', because it's just a filler phrase. It makes it longer, and doesn't add any value. If I was to go and register a new name, and I saw that 'propertieshomesandmore' was already registered, I don't think I would contact you and offer you $1,000 just to get the name. I would probably just try to register another free and unregistered variation, like 'propertieshomesforyou.com'.
