Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value
8. Fair Value
 
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The standard establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring assets or liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the asset or liability. Assets or liabilities with readily available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

In order to determine if a market is active or inactive for a security, a number of factors are considered, including, but not limited to, the spread between what a seller is asking for a security and what a buyer is bidding for the same security, the volume of trading activity for the security in question, the price of the security compared to its par value for fixed maturity investments, and other factors that may be indicative of market activity.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table presents the fair value measurement hierarchy levels required under ASC 820 for the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Equity Securities The Company values Level 1 securities using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

Short-Term Investments The Company's short-term investments consist of U.S. Government securities with original maturities greater than 3 months and less than 12 months. These investments are generally valued using spreads above the risk-free yield curve using pricing information obtained from independent pricing services.

AFS Fixed Maturity Securities The Company values Level 2 securities using observable market inputs obtained from independent pricing services which use proprietary valuation models and techniques, including matrix pricing, to estimate fair value using observable market inputs. The extent to which each observable market input is used depends on the type of security and market conditions at the balance sheet date. The Company uses the following observable market inputs, listed in the approximate order of priority, in the pricing evaluation of Level 2 securities: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research data. Depending on the security, the priority of the use of observable market inputs may change as some observable market inputs may not be relevant or additional inputs may be necessary.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities The fair values of interest rate derivatives (Level 2) are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

(c)Notes receivable, net is shown net of an immaterial allowance at September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
(d)Excludes related unamortized financing costs.

Cash and Receivables The carrying amounts of Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash; Accounts receivable, net; and Notes receivable, net approximate fair value because of the short‑term maturity of these instruments.

Debt The fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes, included in fixed-rate debt in the table above, is based upon the trade price closest to the end of the period presented. The fair value of other fixed-rate debt in the table above was estimated based on a discounted future cash payment model, which includes risk premiums and risk-free rates derived from the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) or U.S. Treasury obligation interest rates as of September 30, 2026. Refer to Note 6 - Mortgages, Notes, and Loans Payable, Net for additional information. The discount rates reflect the Company’s judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality would be if credit markets were operating efficiently and assuming that the debt is outstanding through maturity.

The carrying amounts for the Company’s variable-rate debt approximate fair value given that the interest rates are variable and adjust with current market rates for instruments with similar risks and maturities.
