I usually see that my domain sales end up with the buyer not utilizing it that often. I consider this sort of acquisition as defensive acquisition where the buyer may be trying to keep the domain off the hands of a competitor. What percentage of your domain sales, in general end up getting utilized?

Define "utilized". Outside a website, there are multiple other potential uses like forwarding, email, blocking competition, investment, and others.

New website or being forwarded to an existing site.

Zero, in terms of building a website, which is somewhat disappointing. @bmugford is right about other uses. Perhaps the new registrant wanted a defensive registration against current or potential competitors. Or maybe they are quietly building something behind the scenes on a temporary beta mode sub-domain. Or maybe they are using the domain name just for a cool sounding e-mail address. Could be they just want to dominate a keyword until they can afford the dot com then forward all not dot com registrations of that keyword to the dot com version. Could be a number of things. Good question @abstractdomainer and I think you might add a list of what " utilized " could mean, including the ideas @bmugford mentioned.
