Apparently nobody has applied for .localhost yet.

  .localdomain would be better.

    Also .local "Despite not being a valid top-level domain in the Internet, considerable DNS traffic that queries the local domain exists in the public Domain Name System.[1] In June 2009, the L root server received more than 400 such queries per second,[2] ranking 4th in DNS traffic of all TLDs after COM, ARPA, and NET." [1] Scary potential for mischief-making. Hopefully ICANN would reject applications for these domains, but I'm not sure I'd take that level of competence for granted.

      .local is already spelled out as a reserved word in the application guidebook.

      .local is the default 'local domain' in most routers, it couldn't be used reliably as a tld. These queries are probably just routed by mistake/buggy software.

  You'd be wasting your money as it is one of the exceptions listed a reserved word in the applicant guidebook.
