 of the underlying financial assets.  The unpaid principal balance of mortgages serviced for others was $231,143 and $248,756 with capitalized servicing rights of $2,185 and $2,422 at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans for others.  The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned.  We recorded servicing fee revenue of $588, $630, and $669 related to residential mortgage loans serviced for others during 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively, which is included in service charges and fees.FORECLOSED ASSETS: Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at the lower of our carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of transfer, establishing a new cost basis.  Any write downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the ACL.  After foreclosure, property held for sale is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell.  Impairment losses on property to be held and used are measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of property exceeds its fair value.  Costs relating to holding these assets are expensed as incurred.  We periodically perform valuations and any subsequent write downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of our carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  Foreclosed assets of $544 and $406 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included in other assets.
