Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivatives | Derivatives Newmark accounts for its derivatives at fair value and recognizes all derivatives as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. In its normal course of business, Newmark enters into commitments to extend credit for mortgage loans at a specific rate (rate lock commitments) and commitments to deliver these loans to third-party investors at a fixed price (forward sale contracts). In addition, Newmark has entered into the Nasdaq Forwards (see Note 1 — “Organization and Basis of Presentation”) that are accounted for as derivatives. The fair value of derivative contracts, computed in accordance with Newmark’s netting policy, is set forth below (in thousands):
