Our investments in real estate joint ventures are reduced by the percentage of the profits earned for leasing and development services associated with our ownership interest in each joint venture. Our carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures differs from our share of the assets reported in the “Condensed Combined Balance Sheets - Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” shown below due to adjustments to the book basis, including intercompany profits on sales of services that are capitalized by the unconsolidated joint ventures. The differences in basis (totaling $3.1 million and $3.2 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively) are amortized over the various useful lives of the related assets.

Galveston/Houston

In June 2023, the Galveston/Houston joint venture completed the refinance of its mortgage. The new $58.0 million loan has a maturity date of June 2026 and an interest rate of Daily SOFR + 3.00%. In conjunction with this refinance, the joint venture entered into a $29.0 million interest rate swap that fixes Daily SOFR at 4.44% until December 2025.

Condensed combined summary financial information of unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for using the equity method is as follows (in thousands):
