(1)The Company typically elects the fair value option upon origination for mortgage loans held for sale. Interest income earned on mortgage loans held for sale is based on contractual interest rates and included in other income. Mortgage loans held for sale valued using Level 3 inputs at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 include $17.9 million and $15.1 million, respectively, of loans for which the Company elected the fair value option upon origination and did not sell into the secondary market. The fair value of these mortgage loans held for sale is generally calculated considering pricing in the secondary market and adjusted for the value of the underlying collateral, including interest rate risk, liquidity risk and prepayment risk. The Company plans to sell these loans as market conditions permit.

(2)Although the majority of the Company’s mortgage loans are sold on a servicing-released basis, when the servicing rights are retained, the Company records them at fair value using third-party valuations. The key assumptions used in the valuation, which are generally unobservable inputs, are mortgage prepayment rates, discount rates and delinquency rates, which were 11%, 11% and 5%, respectively, at December 31, 2020 and 13%, 11% and 5%, respectively, at September 30, 2020.

(3)Fair value measurements of these derivatives represent changes in fair value, as calculated by reference to quoted prices for similar assets, and are reflected in the balance sheet as other assets or accrued expenses and other liabilities. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are included in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. The net fair value change for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 recognized in revenues in the consolidated statements of operations was not significant.

The following table summarizes the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020:


		Fair Value at December 31, 2020				Fair Value at September 30, 2020
	Balance Sheet Location	Level 2		Level 3		Level 2		Level 3
		(In millions)
Inventory held and used (1) (2)	Inventories	$	—	$	9.7	$	—	$	—
Mortgage loans held for sale (1) (3)	Mortgage loans held for sale	—		1.5		1.5		2.2
Other mortgage loans (1) (4)	Other assets	—		1.1		0.6		2.0

(1)The fair values included in the table above represent only those assets whose carrying values were adjusted to fair value as a result of impairment in the respective period and were held at the end of the period.

(2)The fair value of inventory was determined based on recent offers received from outside parties.

(3)These mortgage loans have some degree of impairment affecting their marketability and are valued at the lower of carrying value or fair value. When available, quoted prices in the secondary market are used to determine fair value (Level 2); otherwise, a cash flow valuation model is used to determine fair value (Level 3).

(4)The fair values of other mortgage loans was determined based on the value of the underlying collateral.

For the financial assets and liabilities that the Company does not reflect at fair value, the following tables present both their respective carrying value and fair value at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020:


	Carrying Value		Fair Value at December 31, 2020
			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Notes payable (2) (3)	4,225.6		—		3,389.9		1,050.3		4,440.2

(1)The fair values of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

(2)The fair value of the senior notes is determined based on quoted prices, which is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

(3)The fair values of other secured notes and borrowings on the revolving credit facilities and the mortgage repurchase facility approximate carrying value due to their short-term nature or floating interest rate terms, as applicable, and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
