The gross realized gains on these sales totaled $ 9.6 million, $ 6.4 million and $ 2.0 million in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We realized gross losses on these sales of $ 2.1 million, $ 0.2 million and $ 0.2 million in fiscal 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We adopted Topic 326 as of April 1, 2020. For available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, we first assess whether the security is below investment grade. For securities that are below investment grade, we evaluate whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors such as the interest rate environment. Declines in value due to credit are recognized as an allowance. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse market conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, cumulative default rates based on ratings are used to determine the potential cost of default, by year. The present value of these potential costs is then compared to the amortized cost of the security to determine the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. F- 19 amerco and consolidated subsidiaries notes to consolidated financial statements - (continued) Declines in fair value that have not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses, such as declines due to changes in market interest rates, are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. If we intend to sell a security, or it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security is written down to its fair value and the write down is charged against the allowance for credit losses, with any incremental impairment reported in earnings. Reversals of the allowance for credit losses are permitted and should not exceed the allowance amount initially recognized. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. There were no incremental impairment charges recorded during fiscal year 2021. The adjusted cost and estimated market value of available-for-sale investments by contractual maturity, were as follows: March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Amortized Cost Fair Value Amortized Cost Fair Value (In thousands) Due in one year or less $ 90,142 $ 91,190 $ 128,747 $ 129,420 Due after one year through five years 562,442 601,818 547,821 566,934 Due after five years through ten years 672,733 754,536 636,036 678,636 Due after ten years 905,567 1,019,570 832,334 897,371 2,230,884 2,467,114 2,144,938 2,272,361 Mortgage backed securities 174,728 186,425 187,784 193,687 Redeemable preferred stocks - - 1,493 1,565 $ 2,405,612 $ 2,653,539 $ 2,334,215 $ 2,467,613 Equity investments of common stock and non-redeemable preferred stock were as follows: March 31, 2021 March 31, 2020 Amortized Cost Fair Value Amortized Cost Fair Value (In thousands) Common stocks $ 9,775 $ 20,440 $ 9,775 $ 20,015 Non-redeemable preferred stocks 20,034 21,677 5,076 5,110 $ 29,809 $ 42,117 $ 14,851 $ 25,125 Investments, other The carrying value of other investments was as follows: March 31, 2021 2020 (In thousands) Mortgage loans, net $ 391,230 $ 262,688 Short-term investments 7,234 6,995 Real estate 68,813 69,569 Policy loans 11,163 11,212 Other equity investments 11,319 9,909 $ 489,759 $ 360,373 F- 20 amerco and consolidated subsidiaries notes to consolidated financial statements - (continued) Mortgage loans are carried at the unpaid balance, less an allowance for expected losses net of any unamortized premium or discount. The portfolio of mortgage loans is principally collateralized by self-storage facilities and commercial properties.

The allowance for expected losses was $ 0.4 million and $ 0.5 million for March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The estimated fair value of these loans as of March 31, 2021 and 2020 were not materially different compared to the carrying value. These loans represent first lien mortgages held by us. Mortgage loans are reviewed on an ongoing basis and analysis may include market analysis, estimated valuations of the underlying collateral, loan to value ratios, tenant creditworthiness and other factors. For our mortgage loans, no specifically identified loans were impaired as of March 31, 2021. We have not experienced any material losses related to the notes from individual or groups of notes in any particular industry or geographic area. Short-term investments consist primarily of investments in money market funds, mutual funds and any other investments with short-term characteristics that have original maturities of less than one year at acquisition. These investments are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Real estate held for future development or use is carried at the lower of fair value at time of acquisition or current estimated fair value less cost to sell. Other equity investments are carried at cost and assessed for impairment. Insurance policy loans are carried at their unpaid balance. Note 7.
