Newmark’s primary servicing portfolio at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was approximately $55.1 billion and $54.2 billion, respectively. Also, Newmark is the named special servicer for a number of commercial mortgage backed securitizations. Upon certain specified events (such as, but not limited to, loan defaults and loans assumptions), the administration of the loan is transferred to Newmark. Newmark’s special servicing portfolio at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $3.6 billion and $3.8 billion, respectively. The estimated fair value of the MSRs at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $ 422.2 million and $418.1 million, respectively. Fair values are estimated using a valuation model that calculates the present value of the future net servicing cash flows. The cash flows assumptions used are based on assumptions Newmark believes market participants would use to value the portfolio. Significant assumptions include estimates of the cost of servicing per loan, discount rate, earnings rate on escrow deposits and prepayment speeds. The discount rates used in measuring fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 was between 3.0% and 13.5% and varied based on investor type. An increase in discount rate of 100 bps or 200 bps would result in a decrease in fair value by $13.7 million and $25.0 million, respectively, at March 31, 2018. An increase in discount rate of 100 bps or 200 bps would result in a decrease in fair value by $11.8 million and $23.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2017.
