I don't care too much about compatibility with obsolete browsers, IE11 is the lowest I care about. I would like it to be legible in older browsers, that's all. I also think that the solution would result in the "SOLD" being in the middle of the screen in old browsers (which don't support CSS transform). I care much more about the layout not breaking when somebody resizes the screen or on the mobile devices.

I am not sure what you mean. If I insert a partly-transparent PNG on top of the web-page, the viewers won't be able to select neither the text in that PNG nor the text on the web-page.

Simple. Prepare an image of the property with a honking great "sold" banner on it . When the property is actually sold, swap the images. I don't know how hard that is to do. Seems to me like something any moron can do. Seems to me like shedloads of morons can mange to do that all the time.

Somehow, it is beyond your skill set. For some reason. 

Do you need me to give you a worked example?
