Default Closing costs on $100k Property?

I was wondering if anyone has an idea as far as how much the closing costs should be on a $103,400 property located in Altamonte, FL (north of Orlando). I'm getting 2 loans, 80% & 20%, to avoid having to pay mortgage insurance. My good faith estimate says that I need to come up with $6,600. Could this be right? I'm puzzled because I purchased a $180,000 property 2 months ago (same 80% & 20% deal) and my closing costs were around $7,000. How could a property almost half the price have closing costs so high? Am I being ripped off or what?

I ususally estimate 4-5% of price for closing costs, depending on your loan company and what you can get the seller to pay.

My dad says closing costs should be about 2%. What if you bought with 100% down, no closing costs then?
