FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values.

In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, we apply Financial Accounting Standard Board ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures. Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (Level 3). Fair value estimates may differ from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities.

The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting discounted expected variable cash payments and receipts. The variable cash payments and receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (a forward curve) derived from observable market interest rate curves. We consider both our own nonperformance risk and the counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement.

We utilize an income approach with level 3 inputs based on expected future cash flows to value these instruments. The inputs include market transactions for similar instruments, management estimates of comparable interest rates (range of 3.75% to 10.75%), and instrument specific credit risk (range of 0.5% to 1.0%). Changes in fair value of these receivables from period to period are reported in interest and other income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of December 31, 2021, we had an investment of $903,000 in a real estate technology venture consisting of privately held entities that develop technology related to the real estate industry. The investment is measured at net asset value (“NAV”) as a practical expedient under ASC 820. As of December 31, 2021, we had unfunded commitments of $1.2 million.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

There were no non-financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

The fair value of mortgages payable and unsecured senior notes is estimated based on the discounted cash flows of the loans using market research and management estimates of comparable interest rates (Level 3).

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


	(in thousands)
	December 31, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Amount		Fair Value		Amount		Fair Value
