“For the past 10 years, Jim Aklin has been our trusted realtor for both buying and selling homes, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His knowledge of the real estate industry is exceptional, and he has an incredible ability to understand any market and create the right strategy for success. Our most recent experience with Jim was selling our condo in April 2026. Even in a slower market, with multiple similar condos competing against ours, Jim’s expertise made all the difference. He provided valuable staging recommendations, priced our home correctly, and within just 30 days found a couple who purchased our condo at the price we were hoping for. What truly sets Jim apart is his personal approach. He genuinely cares about his clients and brings a level of trust, communication, and dedication that makes the entire process seamless. Hands down, the best buying and selling experiences we’ve had, and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Inventory in Elma has grown in this rolling three‑month view, with active listings up more than 18% year over year and sitting at 27 homes. Contract activity shows a mixed picture, as pending sales have risen over 12% from last year while closed sales are down nearly 9%, suggesting some buyers are writing offers but fewer deals are reaching the finish line.
Pricing has softened over the past year, with the typical home value down almost 10% year over year and the median list price essentially flat. Sellers are also seeing less of a premium, as the share of homes selling above list has been cut by more than half compared with a year ago and the average sale-to-list ratio now hovers just under 100%.
Conditions have clearly shifted toward a slower pace, with median days on market stretching to 94 days and months of supply more than doubling to 6.8 over the past year. While the area is still labeled a seller’s market, these trends give buyers more time and leverage and require sellers to be more strategic. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Elma agent who understands these dynamics and can guide them through their next move.

Elma offers residents a welcoming small-town atmosphere with accessible outdoor spaces, locally owned shops and services, and a strong sense of community pride.
Elma is a small, commuter-friendly city in eastern Grays Harbor County with quick access to Olympia and Aberdeen, and a practical mix of neighborhoods, services, and open space. Residents appreciate its manageable size, steady employment base, and straightforward routes to larger job centers.
Day to day, life in Elma feels convenient. The compact downtown offers groceries, local shops, and cafes, while larger retailers and medical services are close by in Aberdeen and Olympia.
