Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities U.S. GAAP guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows: •Level 1 measurements—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. •Level 2 measurements—Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. •Level 3 measurements—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. As required by U.S. GAAP guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value under U.S. GAAP guidance (in thousands):

(1)Newmark’s estimate of contingent consideration as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was based on the acquired business’ projected future financial performance, including revenues. Valuation Processes – Level 3 Measurements Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the Forward Sales Contracts to investors are derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of Newmark’s rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale and the related input levels includes, as applicable: •The assumed gain or loss of the expected loan sale to the investor, net of employee benefits; •The expected net future cash flows associated with servicing the loan; •The effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date; and •The nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and Newmark. The fair value of Newmark’s Forward Sales Contracts to investors considers effects of interest rate movements between the trade date and the balance sheet date. The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the Forward Sales Contracts to measure the fair value. The fair value of Newmark’s rate lock commitments and Forward Sales Contracts is adjusted to reflect the risk that the agreement will not be fulfilled. Newmark’s exposure to nonperformance in rate lock and Forward Sales Contracts is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Given the credit quality of Newmark’s counterparties, the short duration of rate lock commitments and Forward Sales Contracts, and Newmark’s historical experience with the agreements, management does not believe the risk of nonperformance by Newmark’s counterparties to be significant. The fair value of Newmark’s contingent consideration is based on the discount rate of the Company’s calculated-average cost of capital, as well as the probability of acquirees meeting earnout targets. Information About Uncertainty of Level 3 Fair Value Measurements The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value of Newmark’s contingent consideration are the discount rate and probability of meeting earnout and contingencies. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the probability of meeting earnout and contingencies would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the present value of expected payments related to Newmark’s contingent consideration was $24.0 million and $21.9 million, respectively (see Note 27 — “Commitments and Contingencies”). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the undiscounted value of the payments, assuming that all contingencies are met, would be $27.0 million and $25.3 million, respectively. Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis Equity investments carried under the measurement alternative are remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis to reflect observable transactions which occurred during the period. Newmark applied the measurement alternative to equity securities with the fair value of $5.0 million and $5.2 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which was included in “Other assets” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. These investments are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, because their estimated fair value is based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date.
