Summary of Fixed Rate Notes Payable

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is subjective in nature and is dependent on a number of important assumptions, including discount rates and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The fair value of our fixed and variable rate debt was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities (categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we believe the fair value of our variable rate debt was reasonably estimated at their notional amounts as there have been minimal changes to the fixed spread portion of interest rates for similar loans observed in the market, and as the variable portion of our interest rates fluctuate with the associated market indices. The table below summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of our fixed rate debt which are not carried at fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):
