Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities | Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities The table below presents certain of our assets measured at fair value at September 30, 2016, categorized by the level of inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP, used in the valuation of each asset:
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Significant
|  | Total as of |  | Quoted Prices in Active |  | Significant Other |  | Unobservable

(1) | Our investments in available for sale securities include our 4,235,000 common shares of Five Star and our 2,637,408 shares of RMR Inc. class A common stock. The fair values of these shares are based upon quoted prices at September 30, 2016 in active markets (Level 1 inputs). Our historical cost basis for our Five Star and RMR Inc. shares is $14,230 and $69,826, respectively, as of September 30, 2016. The unrealized loss of $6,141 for our Five Star shares and the unrealized gain of $30,237 for our RMR Inc. shares as of September 30, 2016 are included in cumulative other comprehensive income (loss) in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We evaluated the decline in the fair value of the Five Star shares and determined that based on the severity and duration of the decline, and our ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for a recovery of fair value, we do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2016.
(2) | Assets held for sale consist of two properties held for sale as of September 30, 2016. These properties are recorded at their estimated fair values less costs to sell. We used offers from third parties to purchase these properties and our knowledge of local real estate markets to determine their fair values as of September 30, 2016. See Note 3 for further information regarding these properties.
In addition to the assets described in the table above, our financial instruments at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 included cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other assets, our revolving credit facility, term loans, senior unsecured notes, secured debt and capital leases and other unsecured obligations and liabilities. The fair values of these financial instruments approximated their carrying values in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of such dates, except as follows:
|  | As of September 30, 2016 |  | As of December 31, 2015
Description |  | Carrying Amount (1) |  | Estimated Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount (1) |  | Estimated Fair Value
Senior unsecured notes |  | $ | 1,722,032 |  |  | $ | 1,830,935 |  |  | $ | 1,478,536 |  |  | $ | 1,548,613 |
Secured debt and capital leases (2) |  | 1,168,827 |  |  | 1,195,240 |  |  | 679,295 |  |  | 724,615 |
|  | $ | 2,890,859 |  |  | $ | 3,026,175 |  |  | $ | 2,157,831 |  |  | $ | 2,273,228 |
(1) | Includes unamortized debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts.
(2) | We assumed certain of these secured debts in connection with our acquisitions of certain properties. We recorded the assumed mortgage debts at estimated fair value on the date of acquisition and we are amortizing the fair value adjustments, if any, to interest expense over the respective terms of the mortgage debts to reduce interest expense to the estimated market interest rates as of the date of acquisition.
We estimate the fair values of our senior unsecured notes using an average of the bid and ask price on or about September 30, 2016 of our six outstanding issuances of senior unsecured notes (Level 2 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). We estimate the fair values of our secured debts by using discounted cash flows analyses and currently prevailing market terms as of the measurement date (Level 3 inputs as defined as defined in the fair value hierarchy under GAAP). Because Level 3 inputs are unobservable, our estimated fair value may differ materially from the actual fair value.
