Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value |
Note 3 – Fair Value
Fair value is estimated based on a hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels whereby the highest priority is given to Level 1 inputs and the lowest to Level 3 inputs. The carrying amounts and the estimated fair values of our financial instruments and certain of our nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis or disclosed, but not measured, at fair value are as follows:

(1)IRLC activity (issuances and transfers) represent changes in fair value included in earnings. This activity is presented on a gross basis in the table for disclosure purposes. Total net change in fair value included in earnings attributed to IRLCs is a gain (loss) of $(17.9) million and $(30.3) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $(3.4) million and $(8.7) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. See Note 16 – Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities. A reconciliation from the beginning balances to the ending balances of Loans Held for Investment and HMBS-related borrowings, MSRs and Pledged liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis is disclosed in Note 5 - Reverse Mortgages, Note 7 – Mortgage Servicing and Note 8 — MSR Transfers Not Qualifying for Sale Accounting, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, there have been no changes to the methodologies that we use in estimating fair values or classifications under the valuation hierarchy as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The significant unobservable assumptions that we make to estimate the fair value of significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 3 and measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are provided below. Loans Held for Sale The fair value of loans we purchased from Ginnie Mae guaranteed securitizations is estimated using both observable and unobservable inputs, including published forward Ginnie Mae prices or existing sale contracts, as well as estimated default, prepayment, and discount rates. The significant unobservable input in estimating fair value is the estimated default rate. Accordingly, these repurchased Ginnie Mae loans are classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Loans Held for Investment - Reverse Mortgages Reverse mortgage loans held for investment are carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. Significant unobservable assumptions include conditional prepayment rate and discount rate. The conditional prepayment rate assumption displayed in the table below is inclusive of voluntary (repayment or payoff) and involuntary (inactive/delinquent status and default) prepayments. The discount rate assumption is primarily based on an assessment of current market yields on reverse mortgage loan and tail securitizations, expected duration of the asset and current market interest rates.
Significant unobservable assumptions | September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Life in years |  |  |
Range | 0.4 to 7.2 |  | 1.0 to 8.2
Weighted average | 4.8 |  | 5.7 |
Conditional prepayment rate, including voluntary and involuntary prepayments |  |  |
Range | 13.0% to 48.1% |  | 11.2% to 36.6%
Weighted average | 18.7 | % |  | 16.0 | %
Discount rate | 5.1 | % |  | 2.6 | %
Significant increases or decreases in any of these assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value, respectively. The effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the securitized loans held for investment, excluding future draw commitments, are partially offset by the effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the HMBS-related borrowings that are associated with these loans. MSRs MSRs are carried at fair value and classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The fair value is equal to the fair value mark provided by the third-party valuation experts, without adjustment, except in the event we have a potential or completed sale, including transactions where we have executed letters of intent, in which case the fair value of the MSRs is recorded at the estimated sale price. A change in the valuation inputs or assumptions may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in market interest rates predominantly impact the fair value of Agency MSRs via prepayment speeds by altering the borrower refinance incentive and the non-Agency MSRs due to the impact on advance funding costs. The significant unobservable assumptions used in the valuation of these MSRs include prepayment speeds, delinquency rates, cost to service and discount rates.
Significant unobservable assumptions | September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Agency |  | Non-Agency |  | Agency |  | Non-Agency
Weighted average prepayment speed | 6.6 | % |  | 9.3 | % |  | 8.5 | % |  | 12.1 | %
Weighted average lifetime delinquency rate | 1.4 | % |  | 10.3 | % |  | 1.2 | % |  | 11.9 | %
Weighted average discount rate | 9.1 | % |  | 10.6 | % |  | 8.5 | % |  | 11.2 | %
Weighted average cost to service (in dollars) | $ | 72 |  |  | $ | 193 |  |  | $ | 71 |  |  | $ | 205 |
Because the mortgages underlying these MSRs permit the borrowers to prepay the loans, the value of the MSRs generally tends to diminish in periods of declining interest rates, an improving housing market or expanded product availability (as prepayments increase) and increase in periods of rising interest rates, a deteriorating housing market or reduced product availability (as prepayments decrease). The following table summarizes the estimated change in the value of the MSRs as of September 30, 2022 given hypothetical increases in lifetime prepayments and yield assumptions:
Adverse change in fair value | 10% |  | 20%
Weighted average prepayment speeds | $ | (60,457) |  |  | $ | (118,162) |
Weighted average discount rate | (76,572) |  |  | (147,150) |
Financing Liabilities HMBS-Related Borrowings HMBS-related borrowings are carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. These borrowings are not actively traded, and therefore, quoted market prices are not available. Significant unobservable assumptions include yield spread and discount rate. The yield spread and discount rate assumption for these liabilities are primarily based on an assessment of current market yields for newly issued HMBS, expected duration and current market interest rates.
Significant unobservable assumptions | September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Life in years |  |  |
Range | 0.4 to 7.2 |  | 1.0 to 8.2
Weighted average | 4.8 |  | 5.7 |
Conditional prepayment rate |  |  |
Range | 13.0% to 48.1% |  | 11.2% to 36.6%
Weighted average | 18.7 | % |  | 16.0 | %
Discount rate | 5.0 | % |  | 2.5 | %
Significant increases or decreases in any of these assumptions in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value, respectively. The effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the HMBS-related borrowings are partially offset by the effects of changes in the assumptions used to value the associated pledged loans held for investment, excluding future draw commitments. Pledged MSR Liabilities Pledged MSR liabilities are carried at fair value and classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy. We determine the fair value of the pledged MSR liability consistent with the prices provided by third-party valuation experts for the related MSR, considering retained cash flows.
Significant unobservable assumptions | September 30, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Weighted average prepayment speed | 8.5 | % |  | 10.9 | %
Weighted average delinquency rate | 7.2 | % |  | 8.8 | %
Weighted average discount rate | 10.1 | % |  | 10.5 | %
Weighted average cost to service (in dollars) | $ | 169 |  |  | $ | 182 |
Significant increases or decreases in these assumptions in isolation would result in a significantly higher or lower fair value. ESS Financing Liability The Excess Servicing Spread (ESS) financing liability consists of the obligation to remit to a third party a specified percentage of future servicing fee collections on a reference pool of GSE mortgage loans, which we are entitled to as owner of the related MSRs. We have elected to carry the ESS Financing liability at fair value and have classified it as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy.
