Founder
Terry Loebs
is the Founder and Managing Member of Pulsenomics LLC. He is the author of The U.S. Housing Confidence Survey™, The U.S. Housing Confidence Index™, and The Transaction Sentiment Index™. Since 2010, Terry has managed an expert panel comprised of over 150 leading economists, investment strategists, portfolio managers, and real estate market analysts to produce The Home Price Expectations Survey™. In the asset management arena, Terry is the lead independent director for a multi-billion dollar series of thematic exchange-traded funds.
Terry has more than thirty years of experience in the capital markets and in developing innovative products and services driven by U.S. housing data. Terry started his professional career on Wall Street as a fixed income analyst, and soon thereafter became immersed in the mortgage capital and housing markets as a whole loan trader, mortgage servicing rights and financial institutions banker. He was later recruited to help lead Case-Shiller Weiss, Inc. (CSW), initially as director of business development and sales before eventually sharing the role of President. As Senior Vice President at Fiserv Inc. (which acquired CSW in 2002), Terry continued his leadership of the merged firms' data analytics group and related product management, sales, marketing and business development activities. Over the course of a decade, he became recognized as a market pioneer of automated home valuation systems, led the commercial development of the Case-Shiller Indexes® and the successful effort to establish their world-wide reputation as the premier home price performance benchmark. At MacroMarkets LLC, a financial product development company co-founded by Robert Shiller, Terry was a central figure in the launch of the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices, and a catalyst in developing new financial products and market infrastructure for U.S. home price risk management, including the CME Home Price Futures and Options market, and the first stock exchange-traded home price-linked securities. Terry earned his undergraduate degree at the Fairfield University School of Business, and his MBA at The New York University Stern School of Business.
