Default 301 redirect Sold Properties?

I am posting this here since it has to do with mainly keeping Google happy.

Since we are only allowed to display active listings only according to our IDX agreement, would I be better off to 301 the visitor (Google) to the home page or simply display a message that says something about the property being sold? Of course this pertains to properties that are sold but still cached in Google. I don't want to get hit with duplicate content for these old listings when Google rechecks these pages.

From the user perspective, I think they should know what is going on, so I would put a message saying it is sold along with other new properties and links to encourage them to check out the site.
