Why are airline sales prices more expensive coming home than going to an destination?

Its more expensive to come home from vacation than traveling to a destination with airlines why is that so

I think it is because its a two way ticket?

Not sure where you are seeing this because if you book on an airlines website you can see the different prices and not all of them are more than the outbound.

But many times, people fly home on a Sunday or Friday which can be very expensive because they know you want to come home on those days. But if you bought a flight to say Las Vegas on Friday and came home on Monday it is almost guaranteed that your return flight will be cheaper than the outbound flight

Each leg of the trip is priced independently and many factors effect the price

That's not always the case. Flight prices depend on a number of factors, such as date of travel, time of the flight, how far in advance is was booked, how popular that route is, etc.

That may be true for your times and dates, but it's not inherently true. You can test this by swapping your 'home' and 'destination' in your search. You should see the home>dest price and the dest>home to be the same as it was before.
