Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value | Fair Value Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value Derivative Financial Instruments The Company uses Hedging Derivatives to manage its interest rate risk. These instruments are carried at fair value in the Company's financial statements. The Company minimizes its credit risk on these transactions by dealing with major, creditworthy financial institutions which have an A or better credit rating by the Standard & Poor's Ratings Group, and monitors the credit ratings of counterparties and the exposure of the Company to any single entity. The Company believes the likelihood of realizing losses from counterparty nonperformance is remote. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, such as interest rate, term to maturity and volatility, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, which the Company concluded are not significant. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The following table summarizes the consolidated derivative positions at September 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands):
| Non-designated Hedges |  | Cash Flow Hedges |
| Interest Rate Caps |  | Interest Rate Swaps |
Notional balance | $ | 402,670 |  | $ | 250,000 |
Weighted average interest rate (1) | 5.6 | % |  | N/A |
Weighted average capped/swapped interest rate | 6.1 | % |  | 3.1 | % |
Earliest maturity date | January 2024 |  | December 2023 |
Latest maturity date | November 2026 |  | February 2024 |
____________________________________ (1)For debt hedged by interest rate caps, represents the weighted average interest rate on the hedged debt prior to any impact of the associated interest rate caps. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company entered into $250,000,000 of new forward interest rate swap agreements to reduce the impact of variability in interest rates on a portion of the Company's anticipated future debt issuance activity in 2023 and 2024. The Company expects to cash settle the swaps and either pay or receive cash for the then current fair value. Assuming that the Company issues the debt as expected, the hedging impact from these positions will then be recognized over the life of the issued debt as a yield adjustment. The Company had five derivatives not designated as hedges at September 30, 2023 for which the fair value changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were not material. Cash flow hedge losses reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings were $354,000 and $1,013,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $1,062,000 and $3,039,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company anticipates reclassifying approximately $1,415,000 of net hedging losses from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings within the next 12 months as an offset to the hedged item during this period. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, 7,500 DownREIT units were redeemed for cash by the Company in conjunction with the sale of Avalon at Newton Highlands. Under the DownREIT agreement, for each limited partnership unit, the limited partner was entitled to receive cash in the amount equal to the fair value of the Company's common stock on or about the date of redemption. The limited partnership units in the DownREIT were valued using the market price of the Company's common stock, a Level 1 price under the fair value hierarchy. Equity Securities The Company has direct equity investments in property technology and environmentally focused companies. These investments are accounted for using the measurement alternative and are valued at the market price of observable transactions, a Level 2 price under the fair value hierarchy. Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalent balances are held with various financial institutions within accounts designed to preserve principal. The Company monitors credit ratings of these financial institutions and the concentration of cash and cash equivalent balances with any one financial institution and believes the likelihood of realizing material losses related to cash and cash equivalent balances is remote. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at their face amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair values and are Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Other Financial Instruments Rents and other receivables and prepaid expenses, accounts and construction payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at their face amounts, which reasonably approximate their fair values. The Company determined that its notes receivables approximate fair value, because interest rates, yields and other terms are consistent with interest rates, yields and other terms currently available for similar instruments and are considered to be a Level 2 price within the fair value hierarchy. Indebtedness The Company values its fixed rate unsecured notes using quoted market prices, a Level 1 price within the fair value hierarchy. The Company values its mortgage notes payable, variable rate unsecured notes, including the Term Loan, and any outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each instrument. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the instrument, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The process also considers credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect the Company's nonperformance risk. The Company has concluded that the value of its mortgage notes payable, variable rate unsecured notes, Term Loan and any outstanding amounts under the Credit Facility and Commercial Paper Program are Level 2 prices as the majority of the inputs used to value its positions fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial Instruments Measured/Disclosed at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables summarize the classification between the three levels of the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial instruments measured/disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands):
