13.	Fair Value Measurements

Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value

Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are valued by a third-party specialist using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each swap and cap. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swaps and interest rate caps and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Interest rate swaps and interest rate caps are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the fair value of our financial assets that are measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets as of the dates set forth below, based on their levels in the fair value hierarchy.
