Contributor - MacroEdge RESights (@M3_Melody)
A 24-year BFSI veteran, Melody was recently named as one of Mortgage Women Magazine's Women of Technology and is a contributing writer to multiple publications. Her 2023 article in HousingWire entitled “Debunking the Housing Inventory Myth,” created controversy and sparked debate in the industry and amongst the investor community as housing analysts attributed low sales to inventory issues. Wright presciently argued that the depressed housing market was due to affordability issues and changing trends in how people buy and sell homes.
Melody Wright began her mortgage career at GMAC ResCap (RFC) in 2006 and helped manage the historic ResCap bankruptcy. After leaving ResCap and before joining the FinTech revolution, she focused on operational effectiveness at multiple large, nonbank mortgage companies. Melody launched her own strategy and technology company in 2022, Huringa, which assists the investor and industry community with navigating the ever-changing macroeconomic landscape utilizing market data and comprehensive, integrated technology solutions.
