off the market

No longer available

Off the market means no longer available for purchase or acquisition.

A house goes off the market when it sells or when the owner withdraws it from sale.

The phrase extends to people: someone off the market is no longer single and available for dating.

Sorry, she's off the market—got engaged last month.
