Clayton Home Building Group has introduced the Buttercup, a 408-square-foot mini-dwelling under the TRU brand.
The Buttercup’s smaller footprint and price build on TRU’s nearly 15-year legacy of attainable housing with one of the lowest home prices on the market today.
“TRU revolutionized the housing industry in 2012 with attainable pricing that has helped more than 100,000 customers achieve homeownership,” Clayton Manufacturing Senior Vice President of Operations Mike Duncan said. “Today, the need for attainable housing is greater than ever, and the TRU Mini home collection, with its lower price, expands opportunities for customers who believe homeownership is financially out of reach.”
One of several smaller home models in the TRU Mini™ collection, the Buttercup is a modern manufactured home measuring 12 feet by 36 feet with 408 square feet of efficiently designed space, including a bedroom and bathroom.
TRU Mini series homes feature many of the same finishes homeowners expect with a TRU standard-sized home: Frigidaire® appliances, DuraCraft® cabinets, 8-foot flat ceilings, modern rolled-edge countertops, and upgraded window casings.
The debut follows the fall 2025 introduction of the TRU Origin collection, a new home series featuring uniform construction specifications and consistent features across all TRU home-building facilities. Like TRU Origin, TRU Mini series homes will also feature consistent construction through all homebuilding facilities, which allows for quicker construction to meet the urgent demand for attainable housing.
The TRU Mini collection is being made available at retail partner home centers throughout the nation.
