I find the whimsical "spoken for" by our more humerous agent brethren probably a little less amusing than they do...

As far as I'm concerned;-

spoken for
under offer
sale agreed
SSTC
sold

all translate to "we've had an acceptable offer and a sale has been agreed which is progressing and if you enquire, all we will do is take your details and contact you if for any reason it all goes to hell in the proverbial manual goods conveyance."
