FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2024

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature. For variable rate line of credit debt that re-prices frequently, fair values are based on carrying values.

In determining the fair value of other financial instruments, Centerspace applies FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures.” Fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (Levels 1 and 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (Level 3). Fair value estimates may differ from the amounts that may ultimately be realized upon sale or disposition of the assets and liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

	Balance Sheet Location	Total		Level 1	Level 2	Level 3

Assets
Real estate related notes receivable	Other assets	$	20,311	—	—	$	20,311

Centerspace utilizes an income approach with Level 3 inputs based on expected future cash flows to value the notes receivable. The unobservable inputs include market transactions for similar instruments, management estimates of comparable interest rates (range of 5.00% to 9.00%), and instrument specific credit risk (range of 0.5% to 1.0%). Changes in the fair value of these receivables from period to period are reported in interest and other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
