The following is a summary of changes in the Company's liability for estimated single-family mortgage repurchase losses:
| Quarter Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 1,202 |  |  | $ | 1,728 |  |  | $ | 1,481 |  |  | $ | 2,232 |
Additions, net of adjustments (1) | 31 |  |  | (73) |  |  | (117) |  |  | (184) |
Realized (losses) recoveries, net (2) | (93) |  |  | (10) |  |  | (224) |  |  | (403) |
Balance, end of period | $ | 1,140 |  |  | $ | 1,645 |  |  | $ | 1,140 |  |  | $ | 1,645 |
(1) Includes additions for new loan sales and changes in estimated probable future repurchase losses on previously sold loans. (2) Includes principal losses and accrued interest on repurchased loans, "make-whole" settlements, settlements with claimants and certain related expenses. The Company has agreements with certain investors to advance scheduled principal and interest amounts on delinquent loans. Advances are also made to fund the foreclosure and collection costs of delinquent loans prior to the recovery of reimbursable amounts from investors or borrowers. Advances of $1.5 million and $2.9 million were recorded in other assets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. When the Company has the unilateral right to repurchase Ginnie Mae pool loans it has previously sold (generally loans that are more than 90 days past due), the Company records the balance of the loans as other assets and other liabilities. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, delinquent or defaulted mortgage loans currently in Ginnie Mae pools that the Company has recognized on its consolidated balance sheets totaled $7.5 million and $5.6 million, respectively. Revenue from mortgage servicing, including the effects of derivative risk management instruments, consisted of the following:

(1) Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows and curtailments. (2) Principally reflects changes in model assumptions, including prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in mortgage interest rates. (3) The interest income from US Treasury notes securities used for hedging purposes, which is included in interest income on the consolidated income statements, was $0.3 million for both quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and was $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The changes in single family MSRs measured at fair value are as follows:
| Quarter Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Beginning balance | $ | 73,725 |  |  | $ | 76,314 |  |  | $ | 74,249 |  |  | $ | 76,617 |

Ending balance | $ | 70,800 |  |  | $ | 76,470 |  |  | $ | 70,800 |  |  | $ | 76,470 |
(1) Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows and curtailments. (2) Principally reflects changes in model assumptions, including prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in mortgage interest rates. Key economic assumptions used in measuring the initial fair value of capitalized single family MSRs were as follows:
| Quarter Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(rates per annum) (1) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Constant prepayment rate ("CPR") (2) | 22.61 | % |  | 15.13 | % |  | 19.87 | % |  | 14.20 | %
Discount rate | 9.88 | % |  | 11.70 | % |  | 10.17 | % |  | 10.83 | %
(1) Based on a weighted average. (2) Represents an expected lifetime average CPR used in the model. For single family MSRs, we use a discounted cash flow valuation technique which utilizes CPRs and discount rates as significant unobservable inputs as noted in the table below:
| At September 30, 2024 |  | At December 31, 2023
| Range of Inputs |  | Average (1) |  | Range of Inputs |  | Average (1)
CPRs (2) | 6.17% - 13.10% |  | 7.47 | % |  | 6.80% - 32.50% |  | 7.00 | %
Discount Rates | 9.63% - 15.09% |  | 10.12 | % |  | 10.00% - 17.00% |  | 10.00 | %
(1) Weighted averages of all the inputs within the range. (2) Represents the expected lifetime average CPR used in the model. To compute hypothetical sensitivities of the value of our single family MSRs to immediate adverse changes in key assumptions, we computed the impact of changes to CPRs and in discount rates as outlined below:
(dollars in thousands) | At September 30, 2024
Fair value of single family MSR | $ | 70,800 |
Expected weighted-average life (in years) | 8.15
CPR |
Impact on fair value of 25 basis points adverse change in interest rates | $ | (995) |
Impact on fair value of 50 basis points adverse change in interest rates | $ | (2,158) |
Discount rate |
Impact on fair value of 100 basis points increase | $ | (2,380) |
Impact on fair value of 200 basis points increase | $ | (5,005) |
The changes in multifamily and SBA MSRs measured at the lower of amortized cost or fair value were as follows:
| Quarter Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Beginning balance | $ | 27,583 |  |  | $ | 32,477 |  |  | $ | 29,987 |  |  | $ | 35,256 |
Originations | 162 |  |  | 38 |  |  | 619 |  |  | 248 |
Amortization | (1,423) |  |  | (1,374) |  |  | (4,284) |  |  | (4,363) |
Ending balance | $ | 26,322 |  |  | $ | 31,141 |  |  | $ | 26,322 |  |  | $ | 31,141 |
Key economic assumptions used in measuring the initial fair value of capitalized multifamily MSRs were as follows:
| Quarter Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
(rates per annum) (1) | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Discount rate | 13.00 | % |  | 13.00 | % |  | 13.00 | % |  | 13.00 | %
(1)Based on a weighted average. For multifamily MSRs, we use a discounted cash flow valuation technique which utilizes CPRs and discount rates as significant unobservable inputs as noted in the table below. Multifamily DUS loans typically contain yield maintenance features that significantly reduce loan prepayments, resulting in a CPR of zero for valuation purposes.
| At September 30, 2024 |  | At December 31, 2023
| Range of Inputs |  | Average (1) |  | Range of Inputs |  | Average (1)
Discount Rates | 13.00% - 15.00% |  | 13.00 | % |  | 13.00% - 15.00% |  | 13.00 | %
(1) Weighted averages of all the inputs within the range.
