Sources tell TMZ ... the cozy Valley Village, California farmhouse is currently in escrow.

Here's the deal ... Ashley Fultz of DMF Realty shared a photo of Tom & Ariana's Los Angeles-area home Saturday and announced the pad was set to hit the market soon.

However, she explained on Instagram someone jumped in and paid full price for the place off-market ... clearly worried about getting into a bidding war with anyone.

Lauren Conrad might not be fond of Spencer Pratt ... but he swears she'd vote for him if she saw the s****y conditions in Los Angeles!

We're not so convinced ... Conrad gave Kristin Cavallari a hard stare after she said, "I will always have a soft spot for Spencer. I think he's great" -- and she also told hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones they were "asking me about people I haven’t spoken to in decades."

In the clip -- filmed before the alleged February incident Dakota later reported -- Dakota straight up says to Gleb, "she lied to me, then had sex with me, then after tells me" ... to which the "Dancing with the Stars" pro responds with "Well, the sex was better with you" -- hyping him up, saying "she came back for good D."
