CoreLogic has named Selma Hepp as chief economist.

In this role, Hepp leads the economics team, which is responsible for analyzing, interpreting and forecasting housing and economic trends in real estate, mortgage and insurance. She had served as interim chief economist since July 2022.

Prior to joining CoreLogic in 2020, Hepp was chief economist and vice president of business intelligence for Pacific Union International, which was later acquired by Compass. Additionally, Selma has also held the role of chief economist for Trulia, senior economist for the California Association of Realtors, economist and manager for public policy and homeownership research for the National Association of Realtors and special research assistant at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

As a well-respected thought leader in the housing industry, Selma’s analytical expertise will produce insights to help our clients and other stakeholders better navigate today’s dynamic real estate environment.”
