Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our fixed rate debt is made up primarily of $1.3 billion in aggregate principal amount of our senior and convertible senior notes. All outstanding senior and convertible senior notes bear fixed rates of interest, and therefore, do not expose us to financial statement risk associated with changes in interest rates. The fair values of senior and convertible senior notes change primarily when interest rates change, and in the case of our convertible senior notes, when the market price of our stock fluctuates. Except in limited circumstances, we do not have an obligation to prepay our senior notes and, as a result, changes in fair value of our senior notes should not have a significant impact until we would be required to repay such debt if we choose to then also access the capital markets to issue new debt. Obligations to prepay our convertible senior notes may be required upon the occurrence of certain limited conversion conditions that are closely related to the fair value of the convertible senior notes, and therefore changes in the fair value of our convertible senior notes should not have a significant impact as conversion is more likely to occur under favorable stock price conditions. Our Credit Facility is subject to interest rate changes as the borrowing rates are based on Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") or Prime (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report).
We had no borrowings or repayments under the Credit Facility during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, and had $40.0 million in both borrowings and repayments under the Credit Facility during the year ended December 31, 2022. We had no outstanding borrowings as of either December 31, 2024 or 2023. There were no interest charges resulting from intraperiod borrowings during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. Interest charges resulting from the intraperiod borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2022 were not material.
The following table presents our long-term debt obligations, principal cash flows by maturity, weighted average interest rates and estimated fair market value for the year ended December 31, 2024 (in millions):

Our operations are interest rate sensitive. As overall housing demand is adversely affected by increases in interest rates, a significant increase in mortgage interest rates may negatively affect the ability of homebuyers to secure adequate financing or cause potential homebuyers with existing mortgages to choose to stay in their lower interest rate homes. Higher interest rates and/or rapidly increasing interest rates could adversely affect our revenue, gross margins, earnings, and cancellations rates and would also increase our variable rate borrowing costs on our Credit Facility. We do not enter into, or intend to enter into, derivative interest rate swap financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
