Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements |
8. | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments: Notes Receivable and Advances to Affiliates The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the Company uses unobservable inputs such as market interest rates determined by the loan to value and market capitalization rates related to the underlying collateral at which management believes similar loans would be made and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these notes was approximately $348.7 million and $445.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, as compared to the carrying amounts of $347.3 million and $443.3 million, respectively. Debt The fair market value of senior notes is determined using the trading price of the Company’s public debt. The fair market value for all other debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates future contractual interest and principal payments and a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk and loan to value. The Company’s senior notes and all other debt are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy. Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments. Debt instruments with carrying values that are different than estimated fair values are summarized as follows (in thousands):
| September 30, 2017 |  |  | December 31, 2016 |
| Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |  |  | Carrying Amount |  |  | Fair Value |
Senior Notes | $ | 2,809,404 |  |  | $ | 2,896,258 |  |  | $ | 2,913,217 |  |  | $ | 3,056,896 |
Revolving Credit Facilities and term loans |  | 457,858 |  |  |  | 460,782 |  |  |  | 598,242 |  |  |  | 601,131 |
Mortgage Indebtedness |  | 750,269 |  |  |  | 771,052 |  |  |  | 982,509 |  |  |  | 1,012,869 |
| $ | 4,017,531 |  |  | $ | 4,128,092 |  |  | $ | 4,493,968 |  |  | $ | 4,670,896 |
