The median single family

ing to a monthly housing re-

Since the start of the year,
the median sales price of a sin-
gle family home in Bend has
topped $700,000 eight times
out of 11. It took a single family
home about 18 days to sell in
Bend in November and of the
127 transactions, 55 were cash

Appraisal Group in Redmond.
There are about 1 1/2 months
worth of homes for sale in

But in Redmond, the sin-

Downtown
Continued from A1
“There’s a lot of potential for fun
events,” Raney said.
The Sisters Smokehouse will also
open in the development, which will
work in concert with Blacksmith.
According to co-owner Jay Wymer,
the smokehouse location in Redmond
will be similar to its popular, original
one in Sisters. They will make sausage,
jerky and pepperoni on site, have a deli
that serves fresh-made sandwiches, of-
fer popular Bontà gelato out of Bend
and also do more general retail sales.
“We’re really excited about it,” said
Wymer. “We’re going to be a sort of
downtown mercantile for Redmond.”
Their operation in Sisters currently
employs about 35 people. Wymer said
they would start with about 10 em-
ployees in Redmond, but hope to grow
those numbers along with the business.
Raney said Blacksmith Public House
will have about seven employees and
more will be employed at the food
trucks located outside.
“It’s going to be a rad spot for sure,”
Raney said.
Dani Mrdutt works at the Kilted
Kitchen, located at the site of the future
Blacksmith pod. She said she’s looking
forward to the development.
“It’s not just the experience about
serving people food but it’s more about
just being a part of the community,”
Mrdutt said. “I just think this is going
to be different.”
Cascade Alchemy Bowls, a food cart
that has been operating at the location
for months, also plans to be part of the
new development.
PINTS AND PUPPIES
Also located near downtown Red-
mond on 9th and Glacier, The Dog-
house Brewyard will arrive in 2023 and
will include food trucks, beer on tap

and a dog park.
Owner Rae Oden, who goes by
Oden, said the beer and off-leash dog
park combo will be the first in Oregon.
“(It) gives people a safe place with
their dogs,” Oden said. “It’s going to be
great.”
Oden first had the idea when they
visited a similar setup in Austin, Texas,
called the Yard Bar. Every time they’d
visit a new city, Oden said they’d always
look for a similar dog park and beer
garden combo.
Oden is hoping to have three food
trucks at the location. One spot has al-
ready been claimed by Heather Goss,
who recently started Kook’i, a truck
selling personalized cookies and baked
goods.
The Doghouse Brewyard will in-
clude eight taps featuring local Central
Oregon beers along with other drinks
including ciders and seltzers. There will
be a large seating area, warming booths
and events such as mobile dog washing,
vaccination and adoption specials.
Oden is also hoping to host a winter
Pride Fest and may host a singles night
for dog owners.
“I’m all about the community,”
Oden said. “You couldn’t be in a more
friendly place.”
Oden said they were excited to have
a lot of dogs running around and that
they’ve had a great reception from
business owners.
“I love that it’s centrally located,
where everything seems to be growing,”
Oden said.
While the food trucks will get to
choose their own hours, The Doghouse
Brewyard will be open from noon to
8 p.m. during the week and noon un-
til 10 p.m. on the weekends. Oden is
shooting for an open date of Feb. 15.
The park will require a membership
for owners to bring their dogs, but it
will be open to the public. Dog owners
will also have to sign an online waiver
and have their dogs vaccinated, spayed
or neutered.
“It’s really for dog people,” Oden
said. “This is the place to go if you have
a dog.”
