Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Disclosures 11. Fair Value Disclosures

Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in the following three categories:

Level 1 — Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are inactive; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets at measurement date.

Level 3 — Valuations derived from techniques where one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable in active markets at measurement date.


The following table presents carrying values and estimated fair values of financial instruments (in thousands):

(1)Estimated fair value of the secured notes receivable was based on cash flow models discounted at market interest rates which considered the underlying risks of the note. In May 2020, the maturity of the secured note receivable was extended by one year to May of 2021.

(2)The mortgage loans held for sale are carried at fair value, which is based on quoted market prices for committed mortgage loans.

(3)Derivative instruments are carried at fair value and based on market prices for similar instruments. Changes in fair value are reflected in financial services revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Derivative assets are presented within prepaid expenses and other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Derivative liabilities are presented within accrued expenses and other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(4)Estimated fair value of the senior notes is based on recent trading activity in inactive markets.

(5)Carrying amounts include any associated unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and discounts. As of June 30, 2020, these amounts totaled $5.4 million and $3.5 million for the 6.750% senior notes and 5.875% senior notes, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, these amounts totaled $5.7 million and $3.9 million for the 6.750% senior notes and 5.875% senior notes, respectively.

(6)Carrying amount approximates fair value due to short-term nature and interest rate terms.

(7)Insurance premium notes including in other financing obligations bore interest rates ranging from 3.278% to 3.240% during the periods ending June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which approximated prevailing market rates for similar obligations at each period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we determined that inventory with a carrying value before impairment of $6.6 million within one community in our Texas segment was not recoverable. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million to reflect the estimated fair value of the community of $5.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, total impairment charges of $1.7 million were recorded, which includes $0.8 million of impairment charges related to one community in our Century Complete segment which was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value of communities are determined through a discounted cash flow approach utilizing Level 3 inputs. Because the full magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain and difficult to predict, changes in our cash flow projections may change our conclusions on the recoverability of inventory in the future.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value. Non-financial assets and liabilities include items such as inventory and property and equipment that are measured at fair value when acquired and as a result of impairments, if deemed necessary.
