Total securities decreased to $543.5 million compared to $547.4 million at year-end 2023 driven by a $5.2 million lower FHLB stock balance due to $98.5 million in paydowns of borrowings partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in securities available for sale. Securities available for sale year to date increased by $1.3 million driven by security purchases that replaced paydowns, $7.0 million in called or matured securities which were offset by fair value adjustments. The year to date weighted average yield of the securities portfolio was 4.0% compared to 3.9% at year-end primarily due to a run-off of lower coupon fixed-rate securities as well as higher yielding purchases. As of quarter-end, our securities portfolio had an average life of eight years compared with an average life of nine years at year-end. The effective duration of the portfolio was five years for the quarter-end and year-end and all securities remain classified as available for sale to provide flexibility in asset funding and other opportunities as they arise.
Current wording
Securities available for sale was $514.0 million compared to $521.0 million in the fourth quarter 2024 driven primarily by pay downs of $28.3 million, partially offset by $19.0 million in purchases.

Fair value adjustments were $57.2 million at the end of the first quarter 2025 compared to $62.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter 2024.
